Abstract

Care-related infections affect up to 11% of ICU patients. Running therapeutic albumin is sometimes associated to less infection: whether a specific method of its infusion is of any interest to modulate innate defense is unknown. Our objectives were: 1) to test whether the method for albumin infusion is important to prevent care-related infections and 2) to analyze in vitro the antioxidative role of albumin on host defense proteins during shock (using vasostatin-I as an example).
