In this study, administration of 5% HSA appeared to be safe in a large group of critically ill, hypoalbuminemic dogs and cats. The results should be interpreted with caution due to the retrospective, descriptive nature of the study, the absence of control groups and the lack of follow-up data, as well as the potentially life-threatening complications of HSA administration.

The SSI rates found are comparable with European studies and can be a benchmark for national incidence data and for inter- and intra-hospital SSI rate comparisons.
