Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pentastarch is a subgroup of hydroxyethyl starch, with five hydroxyethyl groups. It is sold under the name Pentaspan and used for fluid resuscitation. It is considered a plasma expander because it remains primarily intravascular after infusion. Pentastarch in the emergency setting is not well studied and its use not of proven benefit. One small study, comparing normal saline and pentastarch, failed to show any significant survival advantage; however, significantly less volume was required for resuscitation in the pentastarch group.
