GENERIC: Succinylated Gelatin 4% (Modified Fluid Gelatin) Intravenous Infusion

MANUFACTURER: B. Braun

QUANTITY

500 ml IV bag

INDICATION

Gelofusine 500ML is a colloid plasma volume expander indicated for the treatment of hypovolemia due to acute blood loss, burns, trauma, or surgery. It is used when crystalloid solutions alone are insufficient to restore circulating blood volume and maintain hemodynamic stability.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Succinylated gelatin 4% is a modified gelatin-based colloid that generates oncotic pressure within the intravascular compartment. When infused intravenously, it draws fluid from the interstitial space into the blood vessels, expanding plasma volume rapidly and supporting blood pressure and cardiac output. Each 500ml of Gelofusine provides a volume expansion roughly equivalent to the volume infused, with effects lasting 3 to 4 hours. It also contains sodium chloride for electrolyte balance.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

●     Administered intravenously under medical supervision only

●     Initial dose: 500ml to 1000ml infused at a rate determined by clinical urgency

●     In acute hemorrhagic shock, rapid infusion rates may be required

●     Monitor vital signs, urine output, and hemodynamic parameters throughout

●     Maximum daily dose: 20ml/kg body weight unless clinically justified

●     Warm to body temperature before infusion if administered in large volumes

SIDE EFFECTS

Common:

●     Mild allergic reactions including urticaria or flushing

●     Transient tachycardia during rapid infusion

Less common:

●     Anaphylactoid reactions in rare cases

●     Dilutional coagulopathy with large-volume resuscitation

●     Fluid overload in patients with cardiac or renal impairment

NOT RECOMMENDED IN

●     Known hypersensitivity to gelatin-based colloids

●     Severe cardiac failure with pulmonary edema

●     Hypervolemia

●     Severe coagulation disorders

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Gelofusine may dilute coagulation factors if given in large volumes, potentially enhancing the effect of anticoagulants. Compatibility with specific IV medications should be verified before co-infusion. Do not mix with blood products in the same infusion line.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
