Does IV Albumin Really 'Pulls' Fluid ? 

It's a common misconception that albumin pulls fluid into intravascular compartment. If you think more, you will realize that contribution of albumin to your osmotic pressures is minimal. So why you wonder we keep on talking about it and not understand the underlying concepts? In this video, we will discuss in detail if albumin infusion really "pulls" fluid.
