TL;DR: The goal of the consensus conference was to develop and publish standardized definitions for sepsis and infection-related diagnoses in the burn population, which will improve the capability of performing more meaningful multicenter trials among burn centers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective, randomized evaluation of intra-abdominal pressures with crystalloid and colloid resuscitation in burn patients.
TL;DR: Plasma-resuscitated patients maintained an IAP below the threshold of complications of intra-abdominal hypertension in burn patients, appears to be a direct result of the decrease in volume required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of deep vein thrombosis in burn patients
Alison M. Fecher,Michael S. O’Mara,I.W Goldfarb,H. Slater,R Garvin,T.J Birdas,Philip F. Caushaj +6 more
TL;DR: The incidence of DVT in the study is much less than the incidence reported in other critically ill patients and less than that of most reports on burn patients, and in the experience, routine heparin prophylaxis is effective for the prevention of DVt in burn patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of a Restrictive Blood Transfusion Policy on Outcomes in Children with Burn Injury
TL;DR: A restrictive transfusion policy in children with burn injury decreases the amount of blood transfused, does not adversely impact patient outcome, and results in significant cost savings to the institution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis response to sustained stress after major burn injury in children.
TL;DR: Although the adrenal response to acute and chronic stress is intact after severe burn injury, the ACTH/adrenal feedback loop is disrupted and random total serum cortisol measurements overestimate adrenal dysfunction; thus, ACTH stimulation testing should be used to assess adrenal function before the administration of exogenous steroids.
