Abstract Introduction Body mass index (BMI) has been identified as an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. The objective of this study was to investigate what role BMI played burn Methods Registry data all patients over the age 18 admitted our ABA verified center between July 1, 2015 December 31, 2020 analyzed. Patients were categorized based on World He...

Abstract Introduction Current practice for major pediatric burns includes fluid resuscitation using formulas that estimate requirements based on weight and/or body surface area (BSA) along with percent total burn (TBSA). Adult studies have shown these can cause overload in obese patients and increase risk of complications. These findings not been validated patients. This study aims to evaluate ...

BACKGROUND: We investigated the epidemiology and knowledge of first aid regarding to burns in rural area Kulon Progo, located Indonesia. Although 44% Indonesia’s population resides areas, data burn Indonesia are very limited national referral centers largest cities. also surveyed patients families these try understand their on burns.
 AIM: wanted explore discover what myths misperceptions ...

Methods Burn patients with total body surface area (TBSA) greater than 20% admitted within 8 hours of thermal injury, with continuous cardiac output, ScvO2,PCO2gap and serum lactate monitoring during the first 24 hours after admission between march 2013 and October 2014, were included. Ringer Lactate was administered according to the Parkland formula (4ml/kg/% TBSA), and adjusted according to a...

Early goal directed therapy (EGDT) provided at the earliest stages of burn shock, has significant benefits for ordinary burn patients, however, its effect on patients with more than 80% of total surface area burned (TBSA) still remains unclear. In this study, 34 extensively burned patients with (87.3±5.6)% of total surface area burned were collected from January 2008 to January 2014. All burn p...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence, time course, and outcome of acute kidney injury after major burns and to evaluate the impact of possible predisposing factors (age, gender, and depth and extent of injury) and the relation to other dysfunctioning organs and sepsis. METHOD We performed an explorative cohort study on patients with a TBSA% (percentage burned ...

Controversy has continued regarding the practicality and accuracy of the Parkland burn formula since its introduction over 35 years ago. The best guide for adequacy of resuscitation is urine output (UOP) per hour. A retrospective study of patients resuscitated with the Parkland formula was conducted to determine the accuracy (calculated vs. actual volume) based on UOP. A review of burn resuscit...

Considerable advancements in shock resuscitation and wound management have extended the survival of burned patients, increasing the risk of serious infection. We performed a 6-year review of bacteria identification and antibiotic susceptibility records at the US Army Institute of Surgical Research Burn Center between January 2003 and December 2008. The primary goal was to identify the bacteria ...

Detection of TBSA was attempted in pleural aspirates of 74 patients with tuberculous and 44 patients with nontuberculous pleural effusion by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring. The results were disappointing with a test sensitivity of 67.6 percent and a specificity of 52.3 percent. In contrast, histologic examination of pleural biopsies gave a diagnostic sensitivi...
