The effect of immediate v delayed burn wound excision on pulmonary function

TLDR
It is concluded that the pulmonary changes seen with delayed burn excision are only modest in degree and are the result of wound mediator release, rather than the direct effect of wound bacterial content.About:

Respiratory complications in burned patients: pathogenesis and spectrum of inhalation injury
TL;DR: A spectrum of respiratory complications encompassed by the popular collective term, inhalation injury is delineated, which includes diverse problems with heterogeneous clinical and pathologic manifestations, but conveys the acuity of illness, its genesis, and ominous prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemodynamic changes and oxygen consumption in burned patients during enflurane or isoflurane anesthesia
TL;DR: The effects of enflurane or isoflurane anesthesia on the systemic circulation and whole-body oxygen (O2) uptake (Vo2) of 15 burn patients undergoing wound excision and skin grafting procedures were studied.

Early excision and grafting vs. nonoperative treatment of burns of indeterminant depth: a randomized prospective study.
TL;DR: It is concluded that in otherwise healthy patients with dermal burns of indeterminant depth less than 20% total body surface area, early excision and grafting is the preferred form of treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the burn wound on local and systemic responses to injury.
TL;DR: The increased systemic cardiovascular and metabolic responses to thermal injury are essential for the enhanced culatory and anaerobic demands of the healing wound.

Lipid peroxidation and acute lung injury after thermal trauma to skin. Evidence of a role for hydroxyl radical.
TL;DR: Data suggest that lung vascular injury after thermal trauma of the skin is related to the generation by neutrophils of the hydroxyl radical and appearance in plasma and tissues of products of lipid peroxidation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that early excision and grafting in young, otherwise healthy patients with 20 to 40 percent total body surface area burns that are likely to heal within 3 weeks is more effective than the more traditional management of slow wound separation and debridement.

Substrate mobilisation during surgery. A comparison between halothane and fentanyl anaesthesia.
TL;DR: It is postulated that the ability of large doses of fentanyl to inhibit the cortisol and growth hormone response to surgery may be of value in ameliorating the catabolic response to trauma.
