Abstract
The use of colloid solutions for fluid resuscitation in hypovolaemic patients is widespread in clinical practice. This article describes the types of colloid agents which are currently available, their physicochemical properties, and adverse effects which may follow their administration. The relative merits of colloids compared with crystalloid solutions are discussed.
