Volume expansion with albumin compared to gelofusine in children with severe malaria: results of a controlled trial
Objectives Previous studies have shown that in children with severe malaria, resuscitation with albumin infusion results in a lower mortality than resuscitation with saline infusion. Whether the apparent benefit of albumin is due solely to its colloidal properties, and thus might also be achieved wi...
