- albumin does not have mortality benefit over crystalloid fluids
- lactated ringer maybe not better than normal saline

What to give
- SMART trial found balanced crystalloids have improved outcome of death and renal dysfunctin over saline
- SALT ED trial found no difference between crystalloids and saline groups
How much to give
- FACTT Trial showed restrictive fluid strategy leads to mortality improvement
- There is no mortality difference between restrictive fluid strategy and liberal fluid strategy in septic patients
