Objective

This is a prospective randomized multi-center study which will compare acute fluid resuscitation using a colloid strategy (LR + 5% Albumin) to a crystalloid strategy (LR alone), in adults with an acute burn involving at least 25% of their total body surface area.

Description

Enrolled subjects will be randomly assigned to either the Colloid Group or the Crystalloid Group. Randomization will be based on an intent-to-treat basis. In order to ensure that the two groups have comparable injury severity at baseline, randomization will be block- stratified based on age (18-50 and > 50 years), burn size (25-50% and > 50% TBSA), and presence of inhalation injury confirmed by bronchoscopy (present or absent). In the Colloid Group resuscitation starts with LR and then 5% albumin will be introduced between 8 and 12 hours post burn in a ratio of 1/3 albumin to 2/3 LR. In the Crystalloid Group resuscitation is with LR only. Each group will have their study fluid maintained for the 1st 48 hours post burn and study fluids in each group will be identically titrated to the urinary output.

    Get screened to confirm eligibility

    You may be asked to take part in prescreening to make sure you are eligible for a study. The prescreening process ensures it is safe for you to participate. During the prescreening process, you will be asked some questions and you may also be asked to schedule tests or procedures to confirm your eligibility.

  3. Step
    3

    Provide your consent to participate

    If you are eligible and want to join the clinical trial or study, a member of the research team will ask for your consent to participate. To give consent, you will be asked to read and sign a consent form for the study. This consent form explains the study's purpose, procedures, risks, benefits and provides other important information, such as the study team's contact information.

  4. Step
