The frequency of administration of the drug is determined by the general condition of the patient and the possibility development of phenomena of "secondary" shock.
The drug can withstand freezing and can be transported at temperatures up to -10 ° C. Freezing of the drug is not a contraindication to its use when ,the condition of the tightness of the package.
Patients with severe dehydration are required to restore fluid deficiency prior to administration of dextrans, the rate of their administration should not exceed 500 ml / h. The introduction of recommended doses practically does not affect the hemostasis system. Exceeding the recommended dose may prolong bleeding time. Against the background of dextrans induced hemodilution, a decrease in protein and hemoglobin concentration in the plasma is possible. The amount of dextrans to be administered should be calculated in such a way that it does not reduce the hemoglobin below 90 g / l (hematocrit 27%) for a longer or shorter time.
Intravenous infusion of solutions of dextran can cause acute renal failure. The presumed mechanism of its origin is associated with the acquisition by blood, located in the glomeruli, of hyperosmolar properties,which leads to a decrease in the effective filtration pressure, which determines the rate of glomerular filtration.
The introduction of dextrans does not prevent the determination of the blood group and the conduct of the cross-sample by standard methods (it is recommended to wash the erythrocytes 0.9% solution of sodium chloride before the study).
The presence of dextran in the blood can influence the results of enzymatic methods based on papain.
When studying the concentration of glucose in the blood using solutions of sulfuric and acetic acids, you can get a glucose concentration greater than there is actually (the latter can hydrolyse dextran).
Dextran reduces the transparency of blood, its presence in the blood can change the results of measuring the concentration of bilirubin and protein.
It is recommended to take blood samples to establish the concentration of bilirubin and protein before the injection of dextran.
With the rapid introduction of dextrans in large volumes, it is possible to develop acute left ventricular failure and pulmonary edema.
In the case of anaphylactoid reactions, the drug should be discontinued immediately and, if necessary, without removing the needles from the vein, proceed with the measures to eliminate the transfusion reaction (blockers H1-histamine receptors and cardiovascular agents, glucocorticosteroids, respiratory analeptics).
With a significant increase in central venous pressure, reduce the dose and speed of administration of the drug or completely stop its administration.
