Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialRandomised controlled trial of colloid or crystalloid in hypotensive preterm infants.
To compare the efficacy of a colloid (5% albumin) and a crystalloid (isotonic saline) solution for treating hypotension in mechanically ventilated preterm infants. ⋯ Isotonic saline is as effective as 5% albumin for treating hypotension in preterm infants, and it has the additional advantage of causing less fluid retention in the first 48 hours.
