Evaluation of the “Early” Use of Albumin in Children with Extensive Burns: A Randomized Controlled Trial*

Abstract: Early albumin infusion in children with burns greater than 15-45% total body surface area reduced the need for crystalloid fluid infusion during resuscitation. Significantly fewer cases of fluid creep and shorter hospital stay were also observed in this group of patients.

“…This study reported less crystalloid volume, but it has low sample size (n = 23) so that a larger study were needed in the future. 30 Melinyshyn et al 8 use albumin 5% in burn resuscitation, but did not demonstrate difference in duration of mechanical ventilation, wound healing, length of stay, nor survival rate. Albumin supplementation also has been proven to be not beneficial in a randomized controlled trial by Greenhalgh et al, while it increases the cost.…”

“…Other reviews of the use of albumin in burns and trauma resuscitation have confirmed the lack of untoward effects, but evidence of benefit has been harder to come by. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] In the basic science literature, our understanding of the microcirculation and the mechanisms responsible for oedema formation are radically changing, centreing on the role of the glycocalyx. [20] That colloid osmotic pressure does not play the role it was assigned by Ernest Starling is known to many burn surgeons, as burn oedema usually resolves in the face of dropping albumin levels.…”
