Staff administering Albumin must also record the date, time and volume infused. Administer via a standard intravenous IV giving set. It does not require a transfusion filter. The manufacturer recommends that each bottle of Albumin is used immediately after opening the bottle as it does not contain antimicrobial preservative.
At RCH we allow the product to be administered within 6 hours of piercing the bottle. Temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure and SpO2 should be recorded at baseline, hourly, at every change in bottle and upon completion. More frequent observations as the clinical condition of the patient requires. Mild reactions such as mild hypotension, flushing, urticaria, fever and nausea usually disappear when the infusion rate is slowed or ceased.
Very rarely, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis or significant hypotension can occur. The infusion should be stopped and appropriate treatment initiated IV fluids for hypotension and IM adrenaline for anaphylaxis. The risk of viral transmission for albumin products is extremely low. Plasma donors undergo screening and products are tested for the presence of viral antigen.
During the manufacture process, there are viral inactivation and pathogen reduction strategies to minimise further the risk of viral transmission. Despite these measures, such products may still potentially transmit viral infection and theoretically Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.

It is also used to treat low albumin levels in the blood hypoalbuminemia caused by: not enough albumin produced by the body eg, malnutrition, burns, major injury, infections , excessive breakdown of albumin eg, burns, major injury, pancreatitis , loss of albumin from the body eg, bleeding, excessive kidney excretion, burn exudates , or redistribution of albumin from the body eg, major surgery, inflammatory conditions. Albumin human injection is also used to treat hypoalbuminemia in patients with severe injuries, infections, or pancreatitis swelling of the pancreas that cannot be quickly reversed and when nutritional supplements have been given but did not work well.
It is also used together with crystalloid treatment to correct lower osmotic pressure in the blood and to replace protein loss caused by severe burns after the first 24 hours.
