title: Effects of artificial colloids on haemostasis.
abstract: Artificial colloids are used in situations with a high risk of bleeding such as trauma or during surgery. Although more efficacious than crystalloids, colloids can be associated with derangements of the haemostatic system and may also interfere with normal haemostasis via a number of different mechanisms.
