Non-Blood Volume Expanders include products such as Hetastarch, Pentastarch, Dextran and Saline/Ringer’s Solution. Some patients inquire about the use of these products as an aid in offsetting blood loss.Click to see full answer. Also know, what kind of blood products can Jehovah’s Witness accept?Jehovah’s Witnesses do not accept transfusions of whole blood or its primary components of red cells, white cells, platelets or plasma. There are products derived from blood which Jehovah’s Witnesses may choose to accept. Jehovah’s Witnesses commonly call these ‘minor blood fractions’.Beside above, what is an alternative to a blood transfusion? Postoperative cell salvage (PCS) and reinfusion can reduce blood use in joint replacement and scoliosis surgery. ICS and PCS are usually acceptable to Jehovah’s Witnesses. Tranexamic acid (antifibrinolytic) is inexpensive, safe and reduces mortality in traumatic haemorrhage. Accordingly, is blood a volume expander? There are two main types of volume expanders: crystalloids and colloids. Colloids contain larger insoluble molecules, such as gelatin; blood itself is a colloid. There is no evidence that colloids are better than crystalloids in those who have had trauma, burns, or surgery.What religions dont allow blood transfusions?Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that it is against God’s will to receive blood and, therefore, they refuse blood transfusions, often even if it is their own blood. The willing acceptance of blood transfusions by Jehovah’s Witnesses has in some cases led to expulsion from and ostracisation by their religious community.
