Composition

Each 100 ml contains:

• Hydroxyethyl Starch 6%
• Sodium Chloride 0.9%

This balanced formulation supports effective plasma volume expansion and electrolyte balance.

Indications

Hi-Vol Injection is indicated for:

• Hypovolemia due to blood loss or dehydration
• Acute hemorrhagic shock (as adjunct therapy)
• Surgical and trauma-related fluid replacement
• Burns and plasma loss conditions
• Maintenance of circulatory volume in critical care settings

Pharmacological Action

This combination works by:

• Hydroxyethyl Starch: Increasing intravascular oncotic pressure, thereby expanding plasma volume and improving circulation
• Sodium Chloride: Maintaining electrolyte balance and osmotic stability

Together, they help restore effective blood circulation and improve tissue perfusion.

Dosage & Administration

• Administered by intravenous infusion only
• Dosage depends on severity of hypovolemia and patient condition
• Must be given under strict medical supervision in hospital settings
• Continuous monitoring of fluid balance and vital signs is required
• Avoid exceeding recommended daily dose

Side Effects

Possible side effects include:

• Fluid overload
• Peripheral edema
• Pruritus (itching)
• Coagulation disturbances with high doses or prolonged use
• Rare allergic reactions
• Kidney function impairment in susceptible patients

Contraindications

• Severe renal impairment or anuria
• Congestive heart failure with fluid overload
• Intracranial bleeding
• Severe dehydration without electrolyte correction
• Known hypersensitivity to Hydroxyethyl Starch

Precautions & Warnings

• Monitor renal function and fluid status regularly
• Use cautiously in critically ill patients
• Risk of coagulopathy with high doses or prolonged use
• Avoid over-infusion to prevent circulatory overload
• Administer only in hospital settings with monitoring facilities
