Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone as a Plasma Expander: Studies on Its Excretion, Distribution and Metabolism

Ravin, Herbert A., Seligman, Arnold M., Fine, Jacob·1952·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

POLYVINYL pyrrolidone (P. V. P., Periston or Kollidon), was proposed in 1940 as an effective nontoxic plasma substitute.¶ It is a synthetic, water-soluble, macromolecular polymer, dissolved in buffered physiologic saline solution in a concentration of 3.5 per cent, so as to be nearly isotonic and iso-oncotic with normal plasma (osmotic pressure equivalent to 400 to 450 mm. of water). It was administered to large numbers of soldiers and civilians during the ensuing war years in Germany and since then in other European countries and in the United States. All early reports agreed that it was effective in the treatment of . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
