    Dextran 70 is a type of fluid given by injection into a vein to expand blood volume.[2] Specifically it is used for shock such as that caused by bleeding or burns when blood transfusions are not quickly available.[3] However, it does not carry oxygen.[3]

    Common side effects include vomiting, fever, and joint pains.[3] Other side effects include allergic reactions and poor blood clotting.[2] It is not recommended in people with kidney failure, significant heart failure, or a clotting disorder.[3] It is not recommended during pregnancy.[4] It works by pulling fluid from the extravascular space into the blood vessels.[3]

    Dextran 70 was approved for medical use in 1947.[5] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[6] The wholesale cost in the developing world is about US$4.10–5.25 per 500 ml.[7] In the United Kingdom this dose costs the NHS about 57.00 pounds.[4] In the United States it costs about $25–50 per dose.[8] It comes in either sodium chloride solution or glucose solution.[3]
