Fluid bolus resuscitation with hypertonic saline albumin solution in critically ill children: a prospective observational pilot study.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the hemodynamic effects and the safety profile of fluid bolus resuscitation with hypertonic saline albumin (HSA) in critically ill children, we performed a prospective observational pilot study between October 2018 and May 2021 in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in a tertiary hospital in Madrid, Spain. Sixty-four HSA boluses were analyzed in 23 patients. A mean volume of 5.7 ml/kg (Standard Deviation, SD 2.3 ml/kg) per bolus was infused. Acute hypotension was the main indication. 91% of the patients had a cardiac disease, 56% of them had undergone cardiac surgery in the previous 72 h, and 47.8% associated right ventricular dysfunction. A significant increase in systolic, mean, and diastolic blood pressure and a decrease in the vasoactive index was observed after the in
