Colloid Rescue Recommendations
As early as 8-12 hours post-burn, if the following criteria are met, consider starting a colloid:
- Hourly IV fluid rate exceeds 1500 mL/hr.
- Projected 24-hour total fluid volume approaches 250 mL/kg.
- Other indications of significant hypovolemic shock despite IV fluid resuscitation.
- Evidence of compartment syndrome (such as bladder pressure > 20 mmHg).
For adults: administer 5% albumin based on Table 1.
