Near-term implementable finding

Mortality effect of albumin fluid resuscitation in adults with septic shock: a systematic review and dual frequentist-bayesian meta-analysis of randomised trials.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of albumin-based fluid resuscitation on mortality in adults with septic shock. A mortality benefit is therefore plausible, but the supporting evidence is indirect and imprecise (GRADE: low certainty).
