Using albumin as IV large volume conservation strategy

Hi All,
We have restricted IV fluid use in light of the current situation with Baxter. Our surgeons have started using albumin due to this. Is anyone using albumin as a strategy/alternative to IVF and if so, what restrictions/criteria have you put in place for its use in this scenario?

Thanks,
Harriet
