D007552	Isotonic Solutions	Solutions having the same osmotic pressure as blood serum, or another solution with which they are compared. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed & Dorland, 28th ed)	Solutions, Isotonic
D010951	Plasma Exchange	Removal of plasma and replacement with various fluids, e.g., fresh frozen plasma, plasma protein fractions (PPF), albumin preparations, dextran solutions, saline. Used in treatment of autoimmune diseases, immune complex diseases, diseases of excess plasma factors, and other conditions.	Exchange, Plasma,Exchanges, Plasma,Plasma Exchanges
D011086	Polycythemia	An increase in the total red cell mass of the blood. (Dorland, 27th ed)	Erythrocytosis,Erythrocytoses,Polycythemias
D006438	Hemodilution	Reduction of blood viscosity usually by the addition of cell free solutions. Used clinically (1) in states of impaired microcirculation, (2) for replacement of intraoperative blood loss without homologous blood transfusion, and (3) in cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermia.	Hemodilutions

D000077331	Ringer's Solution	An isotonic solution; the base contains SODIUM CHLORIDE; POTASSIUM CHLORIDE; and CALCIUM CHLORIDE. Other chemicals, such as SODIUM BICARBONATE or acetate salts may be added, as needed for pH buffering, or as an energy source.	Ringers Solution,Ringer Solution
D012709	Serum Albumin	A major protein in the BLOOD. It is important in maintaining the colloidal osmotic pressure and transporting large organic molecules.	Plasma Albumin,Albumin, Serum
D012965	Sodium Chloride	A ubiquitous sodium salt that is commonly used to season food.	Sodium Chloride, (22)Na,Sodium Chloride, (24)NaCl
D016032	Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic	Works about clinical trials that involve at least one test treatment and one control treatment, concurrent enrollment and follow-up of the test- and control-treated groups, and in which the treatments to be administered are selected by a random process, such as the use of a random-numbers table.
