Can animal experiments inform human health care?
Animal experiments can inform human health care only if their
results are valid and can be generalised. A systematic review of animal
experiments on fluid resuscitation found that most studies were
underpowered and provided little information on potential bias. Roberts
and colleagues (p 474) suggest that systematic reviews across species
would help determine whether the results could be generalised to
humans.
