Colloid volume expanders are associated with severe adverse effects including allergic reactions (anaphylactic shock), acute kidney injury, colloid-induced coagulopathy, and increased risk of bleeding.
Synthetic colloids should not be used and do not replace blood products. They have no value in the management of haemorrhage and are potentially harmful.
