Hydroxyethyl Starch

CAS number: 9005-27-0

Molecular formula: C22H44O17

molecular weight: 580.5746

Chemical structure:

Hydroxyethyl starch is often used as volume therapy, which can rapidly increase blood volume after intravenous administration. Hydroxyethyl starch is often used to save shock or bleeding disorders caused by hemorrhage, burns or other traumatic injuries, and can prevent organ failure caused by reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to various organs as a result of circulatory disorders caused by blood volume recovery.
