Abstract
The present invention relates to a polymer solution for use as a rheological blood substitute. The rheological blood replacement solution comprises in its basic composition a water-soluble cellulose polymer with a molecular weight of 100 kDa or greater, polyethylene oxide and a solvent. The rheological blood replacement solution of the invention can be used in a variety of applications, e.g. as blood substitute, calibration agent or reference agent. The blood replacement solution is based on a polymer solution, which can also be used as pharmaceutical composition, e.g. for the prevention or treatment of haemorrhage or shock-related disorders.
