Frequently asked questions

What is Microspan Infusion used for?

Microspan Infusion is a special type of intravenous (IV) fluid used as a plasma volume expander, which means it helps quickly increase the amount of fluid in your blood vessels. Doctors use it for short-term fluid replacement in situations like shock caused by severe bleeding, burns, or other trauma.

How is Microspan Infusion different from a standard saline IV drip?

While saline provides hydration, Microspan Infusion works differently. It contains large molecules that stay inside your blood vessels for a longer period. These molecules act like a sponge, pulling fluid from the surrounding tissues back into your bloodstream to rapidly boost your blood volume and blood pressure.

Why would a doctor use Microspan Infusion during a major surgery?

In certain surgeries, especially those involving the heart or blood vessels, Microspan Infusion is used to improve blood flow and prevent complications. It can be used to prepare the heart-lung bypass machine, and is also used to help prevent the formation of dangerous blood clots after surgery.

My doctor said Microspan Infusion helps prevent blood clots. How does it do that?

Microspan Infusion helps make the blood less sticky. It works by reducing the clumping of red blood cells, and also makes platelets (the tiny cells that start the clotting process) less likely to stick together and to the blood vessel walls.

Can Microspan Infusion be used instead of a blood transfusion?

No. Microspan Infusion is a "volume expander," not a blood substitute. It can restore fluid volume to stabilize your blood pressure, but it cannot carry oxygen the way red blood cells do. In cases of severe blood loss, a blood transfusion would still be necessary.

Can Microspan Infusion be used for conditions affecting circulation in my hands and feet?

Yes. In some cases, doctors use Microspan Infusion to treat conditions like Raynaud's phenomenon, or to help prevent tissue damage from frostbite. By making the blood less thick and improving flow, it helps deliver more oxygen to these small blood vessels.
