Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Albumin is the best choice as it is a colloid solution that helps to maintain intravascular volume and has a better oncotic pressure than crystalloid solutions. It also provides crucial proteins that are lost during a burn injury such as albumin, globulins and fibrinogen. Autologous transfusion, Dextrose and water and Fresh frozen plasma are not suitable for fluid resuscitation in burn patients.
