[Indications and role of albumin for vascular loading during prehospital care].
The use of albumin in prehospital care is very limited. Generally, in France, volume loading in acute hypovolaemia is obtained mainly with artificial colloids. However, albumin may be useful in the prehospital care of hypovolaemic pregnant women; but this indication remains theoretical. In many emergency medical services, albumin is available if needed, but the very rare indications and the technical requirements limit its use.
