The importance of early diagnosis of sepsis in severe burned patients: outcomes of 100 patients.
BACKGROUND/AIM The burn-injured patient has a major potential to develop an infection because the wound itself, surgical treatment, mechanical ventilation and blood transfusions may potentially lead to a secondary immunodeficiency syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total number of 100 consecutive burn-injured patients with sepsis were treated in the Clinical Emergency Hospital of Plastic Surger...
متن کاملHeparin reduced mortality and sepsis in severely burned children.
Objectives. In El Salvador, before 1999, morbidity and mortality in severely burned children were high. In 1998, all children with burns of 40% or larger size died and sepsis was found. With heparin use in 1999, some similarly burned children survived, and sepsis, pain, procedures, and scars were noted to be less. This retrospective study presents the details. Methods. A study was conducted at ...
متن کاملAssociation between PAI-1 polymorphisms and plasma PAI-1 level with sepsis in severely burned patients.
We investigated the association between plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) polymorphisms and plasma PAI-1 level with sepsis in severely burned patients. A total of 182 patients with burn areas lager than 30% of the body surface area were enrolled in this study. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 103 patients with sepsis (sepsis group) and 79 patients without sepsis (control grou...
متن کاملIncreasing Blood Glucose Variability Is a Precursor of Sepsis and Mortality in Burned Patients
High glycemic variability, rather than a mean glucose level, is an important factor associated with sepsis and hospital mortality in critically ill patients. In this retrospective study we analyze the blood glucose data of 172 nondiabetic patients 18-60 yrs old with second and third-degree burns of total body surface area greater than 30% and 5%, respectively, admitted to ICU in 2004-2008. The ...
متن کاملProcalcitonin: a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of sepsis in burned patients.
The goal of this study was to analyse plasma procalcitonin (PCT) concentrations during infectious events of burns in ICU. We conducted a prospective, observational study in a 20-bed Burn Intensive Care Unit in Tunisia. A total of 121 patients admitted to the Burn ICU were included in our study. Serum PCT was measured over the entire course of stay in patients with predictive signs of sepsis acc...
