CLINICAL PARTICULARS

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Restoration and maintenance of circulating blood volume where volume
deficiency has been
demonstrated, and use of a colloid is appropriate.

the clinical situation of the
individual patient, based on official recommendations.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The concentration of the albumin preparation, dosage and the
infusion-rate should be adjusted to the
patient´s individual requirements.
Posology
The dose required depends on the size of the patient, the severity of
trauma or illness and on
continuing fluid and protein losses. Measures of adequacy of
circulating volume and not plasma
albumin levels should be used to determine the dose required.
If human albumin is to be administered, haemodynamic performance
should be monitored
regularly; this may include:
-
arterial blood pressure and pulse rate
-
central venous pressure
-
pulmonary artery wedge pressure
