Effect of Early Administration of Albumin 20% Versus Crystalloid

Sepsis and septic shock are global health problems, leading to a high mortality rate. They are often associated with extremely low blood pressure and multiple organ dysfunctions, which are the main causes of death in critically ill patients. Fluid resuscitation is one of the most critical treatments for patients with sepsis and septic shock. An early administration of an appropriate fluid to patients is considered the most effective way to increase blood pressure, improve tissue perfusion, and save their lives. Crystalloid fluids are a subset of intravenous solutions composed of mineral salts and other small, water-soluble molecules, including normal, isotonic or hypertonic saline, and various buffered solutions.
