Abstract
Three cases of severe hypotension associated with the use of angiotens in-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and intravenous administration of the synthetic colloid Gelofusin (Braun Medical Ltd) are presented. A possible mechanism of inter-action between ACEIs and Gelofusin is d iscussed. All three patients were treated successfully.
