2 Conflicts of Interest CSL Behring Baxter Inc Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association

3 Why may we use colloid clinically? Plasma a 3 L For Replacement ISS IC 10 L 30 L Blood Cells 2 L Iso-oncotic colloid Hyper-oncotic colloid

4 Cochrane Systematic Reviews of Fluid Resuscitation Author/yr Few Fluids Critical compared Care Trials # Studies Perel, 2011 Colloids Outdated vs Crystalloids protocols 56 Bunn, 2011 Colloid Heterogenous vs Colloidfluids 72 Different fluid comparators NEJM, 2007 Alderson 2009 Albumin vs no albumin 37 Different doses Cochrane 2010 HES Timing vs other of fluids 34 High risk of bias So why are we still talking about and studying this Safe Study Investigators, 2010 question???????

Randomized boluses:5% albumin, 0.9% saline, or no bolus Bolus Bolus 5% albumin normal saline Control Results of FEAST should at least cause us to question some of the very basics of our fluid resuscitation ti practises. 48 hour death 10.6% 10.5% 7.3% 4 week death 12.2% 12.0% 8.7% Neurological sequlae Increased ICP/ pulmonary edema 2.2% 1.9% 2.0% 2.6% 2.2% 1.7%

39 A summary of the evidence for albumin in sepsis year 2012 With the present level of evidence 2012: Consider use for septic shock Avoid use in traumatic ti brain injury Mobilization fluid from interstitial space Acute lung Injury/Acute respiratory distress syndrome Paracentesis for cirrhosis More evidence is coming to understand the place of albumin in the critically ill
