Fig. 2From: Interstitial washdown and vascular albumin refill during fluid infusion: novel kinetic analysis from three clinical trialsAlbumin recruitment during crystalloid fluid therapy. The y-axis shows plasma albumin concentration that is due to interstitial washdown. Technically, each data point is the product of the Hb–albumin difference in plasma dilution and the plasma albumin concentration in A 20 volunteers receiving 1.7 L of Ringer’s acetate, B 30 patients given 1.7 L of Ringer’s acetate thyroid surgery, and C 31 infusions of 1 L of 0.9% saline in patients treated for diabetic ketoacidosis. Each infusion was given over 30 minBack to article page
