Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A comparison of albumin-bolus therapy versus normal saline-bolus therapy for hypotension in neonates.
We compared responses to bolus infusion of 5% albumin (ALB) or normal saline (NS) for hypotension in neonates. ⋯ In hypotensive neonates, ALB results in a greater likelihood of achieving normotension and decreased subsequent use of vasopressors when compared to NS.
