Therapeutic indications
Restoration and maintenance of circulating blood volume in cases of volume deficiency where the use of a colloid is indicated.
The choice of albumin rather than artificial colloid will depend on the clinical situation of the individual patient, based on official recommendations.
Posology/Method of administration
The concentration of the albumin solution used, the dosage and the infusion rate should be adjusted to the patient’s individual requirements.
Posology
The dose required depends on the size of the patient, the severity of trauma or illness and on continuing fluid or protein losses. Measurements of the circulating blood volume, and not just of the plasma albumin level, should be used to determine the dose required.
Human albumin should be administered under careful haemodynamic monitoring; the parameters include:
arterial blood pressure and heart rate,
central venous pressure,
pulmonary artery wedge pressure,
urine output,
electrolytes,
haematocrit/haemoglobin.
Paediatric population
The posology in children and adolescents (0 – 18 years) should be adjusted to the patient’s individual requirements.
Method of administration
AlbuRx™ 5 is administered intravenously.
The infusion rate should be adjusted according to the individual circumstances and the indication, but should normally not exceed 5 ml/min.
In plasma exchange the infusion rate should be adjusted to the rate of removal.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to albumin preparations or to any of the excipients (see section “Composition” – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information).
