title: Complications of 32% dextran-70 in 10% dextrose. A case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Thirty-two percent dextran-70 in 10% dextrose is a useful distention medium for hysteroscopic surgery. However, the side effects profile is considerable.
  
  
  METHODS
  A young woman underwent hysteroscopic evaluation for menorrhagia. Postoperatively, she suffered severe noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy and acute anuric renal failure.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Precautions must be taken when using 32% dextran-70 in 10% dextrose to avoid its potentially life-threatening complications.
