Patent ID: 7754247

Claim:
A resuscitation fluid for treating hypovolemia in a subject, the resuscitation fluid consisting of: an ionic salt at a salt concentration between about 0.9% and about 15% by weight of the resuscitation fluid; a soluble protein at a protein concentration between about 15% and about 40% by weight of the resuscitation fluid, wherein the soluble protein is albumin; an intermediate energy substrate at an energy substrate concentration between about 0.1% and about 10% by weight of the resuscitation fluid; an agent to mitigate intracellular acidosis at an agent concentration between about 0.2% and about 20% by weight of the resuscitation fluid, a buffer, and water, wherein the resuscitation fluid has a pH adjusted by the buffer to be between about 6.5 and about 7.0.
