Marc G. Jeschke,David L. Chinkes,Celeste C. Finnerty,Gabriela A. Kulp,Oscar E. Suman,William B. Norbury,Ludwik K. Branski,Gerd G. Gauglitz,Ronald P. Mlcak,David N. Herndon +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the postburn response is profound, occurring in a timely manner, with derangements that are greater and more protracted than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burn size determines the inflammatory and hypermetabolic response
Marc G. Jeschke,Marc G. Jeschke,Ronald P. Mlcak,Celeste C. Finnerty,Celeste C. Finnerty,William B. Norbury,Gerd G. Gauglitz,Gerd G. Gauglitz,Gabriela A. Kulp,David N. Herndon,David N. Herndon +10 more
TL;DR: Morbidity and mortality in burned patients is burn size dependent, starts at a 60% TBSA burn and is due to an increased hypermetabolic and inflammatory reaction, along with impaired cardiac function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infection in Burns
William B. Norbury,David N. Herndon,David N. Herndon,Jessica D. Tanksley,Jessica D. Tanksley,Marc G. Jeschke,Celeste C. Finnerty,Celeste C. Finnerty +7 more
TL;DR: Strict infection control measures, constant wound surveillance with regular sampling of tissues for quantitative culture, and early excision and wound closure remain the principal adjuncts to control of invasive infections in burn patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in pediatric burn patients: does it make a difference?
Marc G. Jeschke,Marc G. Jeschke,Ronald P. Mlcak,Celeste C. Finnerty,William B. Norbury,Rene Przkora,Gabriela A. Kulp,Gerd G. Gauglitz,Xiao-Jun Zhang,Xiao-Jun Zhang,David N. Herndon +10 more
TL;DR: Female burned patients exert an attenuated inflammatory and hypermetabolic response compared with males, which is reflected in improved muscle protein net balance and preservation of lean body mass, which are associated with shortened hospital stay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal assessment of Integra in primary burn management: A randomized pediatric clinical trial*
Ludwik K. Branski,David N. Herndon,Clifford T. Pereira,Ronald P. Mlcak,Mario M. Celis,Jong O. Lee,Arthur P. Sanford,William B. Norbury,Xiao-Jun Zhang,Marc G. Jeschke +9 more
TL;DR: Integra can be used for immediate wound coverage in children with severe burns without the associated risks of cadaver skin and in the short term, resting energy expenditure and serum levels of constitutive proteins significantly decreased in the Integra group compared with controls.
