LMD Injection and Nitric oxide inhalation gas

• Generic Name: dextran, low molecular weight
• Dosage Forms: injection, solution
• Other Brand Names: LMD

Early fluid replacement and plasma volume expansion in the adjunctive treatment of certain types of shock or impending shock (e.g., burns, surgery, hemorrhage, or other trauma in which a circulating volume deficit is present) when whole blood or blood products are not available, or when the need for haste precludes the necessary cross-matching of blood.

Minimizes sludging of blood as a result of microcirculation effects.

Not a replacement for other forms of therapy; complementary to fluids and electrolytes.

Priming fluid (alone or as an additive to other priming fluids) in pump oxygenators for perfusion during extracorporeal circulation.

Prophylaxis of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism for surgical procedures associated with a high risk of thromboembolic complications (e.g., hip surgery).

May be beneficial in patients undergoing hip surgery; however, has not been shown to be more effective than oral anticoagulants or heparin in patients undergoing general surgery.

The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) does not recommend as sole method of thromboprophylaxis in elective hip arthroplasty.

Nitric oxide is a gas that is inhaled. It works by relaxing smooth muscle to widen (dilate) blood vessels, especially in the lungs.

Nitric oxide is used together with a breathing machine (ventilator) to treat respiratory failure in premature babies.

Your baby will receive this medication in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or similar hospital setting.

Nitric oxide may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
