Editor's Notes

  1. Burn shock = combination of distributive seicondary to release of local and systemic inflammatory mediators and hypovolaemic shock caused by generalized microcirculatory injury and loss of fluid into the interstitial space. CO additionally reduced within the first 4 hrs of injury and recovers gradually over the next 24-48hrs.
  2. Resoration of preload + CO an resuscitation takes 24-48hrs. In that time allow permissive hypotension, permissive hyperlactataemia
  3. Begin fluid resuscitation with Hartmann’s Solution for burns >15%TBSA in adults, and for burns >10%TBSA in children <16 years old. Where appropriate, warm IV fluid administration should be considered to help minimise heat loss.
