Resuscitation in the Intensive Care Unit (SAFE Study)<br />
methods<br />
Randomly assigned patients who had been admitted to the ICU to receive either 4 percent<br />
albumin or normal saline for intravascular-fluid resuscitation during a period <strong>of</strong> 28 days. The<br />
primary outcome measure was death from any cause during the 28-day period after<br />
randomization.<br />
conclusions<br />
In patients in the ICU, use <strong>of</strong> either 4 percent albumin or normal saline for fluid resuscitation<br />
results in similar outcomes at 28 days.
