Abstract
In 1957 Grönwall [575] listed the requirements which an artificial colloid infusion solution should fulfill (see p. 49 f.). We confirmed that dextran 70 corresponds to these requirements for the most part, while gelatin does not fulfill point 4 with regard to intravascular persistence. Nor does gelatin in any way fulfill the point dealing with the same problem in the requirements set up in 1963 by the American National Research Council [1074]: “It should be retained to the extent of 50% of the infused volume for at least 6, and preferably for 12 hours”.
