  • Title: [Initial care of the severely burned patient].
    Author: Buhre W, Wappler F.
    Journal: Anasthesiol Intensivmed Notfallmed Schmerzther; 2009 Feb; 44(2):100-7. PubMed ID: 19199174.
    Abstract:
    The care of severely burned patient is still an interdisciplinary challenge. Despite improvements in the understanding of the pathophysiology of burn disease, mortality is high if more than 25 % of body surface area is burned. Mortality increases in the presence of inhalation injury. Initially, the burn trauma leads to a capillary leakage syndrome, resulting in severe hypovolemia. Therefore, adequate volume substitution is the primary therapy to prevent potential life-threatening hypovolemic shock.
