#septicshock — Public Fediverse posts

@razvan @BakkeHK Not at all. The purpose of using #albumin in #SepticShock is precisely to prevent or mitigate #glycocalyx damage. If oncontic pressure gradient was the purpose, any synthetic colloid would do the job (actually, they won’t, because of the altered endothelial layer, as you suggested)

#Albumin Should Be Remembered When Patients With #SepticShock Are Resuscitated

“Although no significant difference in 28-day mortality rate or 90-day mortality rate was observed between the use of albumin and #crystalloids, #colloids appeared to be more effective than crystalloids in stabilizing hemodynamic end points”

I couldn't agree more. Sometimes you have to find what to do at the moment. It is safe and may help.
