Haemaccel Infusion

Haemaccel Infusion is a plasma volume expander used to restore blood volume in cases of blood loss, shock, burns, or after surgery. It helps maintain proper circulation and blood pressure, ensuring that vital organs receive enough oxygen and nutrients.

How it is Given
Haemaccel Infusion is administered through an intravenous (IV) line by a doctor or nurse in a hospital setting. The dose and infusion rate depend on your medical condition, age, and response to treatment.

Possible Side Effects
Some patients may experience mild fever, chills, skin rash, or a feeling of warmth during infusion. Rarely, it may cause allergic reactions, nausea, or changes in blood electrolytes. If you develop breathing difficulties, swelling, or severe rash, inform your doctor immediately.

Precautions

• Inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, heart failure, fluid overload, or electrolyte imbalances before starting treatment.

• Use with caution in patients with high potassium levels or those on potassium-sparing medicines.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use it only when clearly prescribed by a doctor.

Uses

• Management of shock due to blood loss or trauma

• Plasma volume replacement after surgery or burns

• Temporary support in circulatory collapse

Benefits

• Quickly restores lost blood volume

• Helps stabilize blood pressure and circulation

• Supports recovery in critical or emergency conditions

How It Works
Haemaccel Infusion contains polygeline, which acts as a plasma substitute. It stays in the bloodstream, helping retain fluid within blood vessels, thereby increasing circulating volume and stabilizing blood pressure. It also contains electrolytes to maintain fluid and salt balance.

Safety Advice

• Administered only under medical supervision

• Requires monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes during treatment

• Not a substitute for blood transfusion in cases of severe anemia

Missed Dose
Since it is given in a clinical setting under supervision, the chance of a missed dose is minimal. If required, your doctor will adjust the infusion schedule.
