  • Title: Computer simulation of fluid resuscitation in trauma. First pragmatic validation in thermal injury.
    Author: Arturson G, Groth T, Hedlund A, Zaar B.
    Journal: J Burn Care Rehabil; 1989; 10(4):292-9. PubMed ID: 2793904.
    Abstract:
    A comprehensive pathophysiologic model has been designed to describe the fluid shifts and hemodynamics in connection with fluid therapy for patients who have had trauma. The model is used to simulate treatment of a patient with burn injury, and these results are compared with measured physiologic and biochemical variables. Various formulas for resuscitation of patients with thermal injuries are also simulated to illustrate the potential use of the "patient simulator" for designing fluid resuscitation programs.
