Shock Fluid Resuscitation Evidence by Kuan-Fu Chen is a document available to read on EtoBox.

However, albumin may increase mortality in patients with head injuries. For HES versus crystalloids, HES is associated with higher risks of acute kidney injury and need for renal replacement therapy, though some
