Hemodynamic monitoring using PiCCO system in a 10 months old infant suffering from serious burn injury

J Koppl et al. Bratisl Lek Listy. 2007.

Abstract

In this study, authors present a case report of a 10 months old patient with burn injuries involving 20.5 % body surface area, grades 2a and 2b. According to the continuous monitoring of hemodynamic parameters by PiCCO (Pulsion Medical Systems, Munich, Germany), fluid therapy was successfully managed. Despite of an increasing EVLWI (extravascular lung water index) it was possible to preserve the child from lung edema and subsequent artificial lung ventilation by the early targeted therapeutic interventions. Moreover, the study analyzes the possibilities and indications of less invasive hemodynamic monitoring supplied by PiCCO in children (Tab. 2, Fig. 3, Ref. 7). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk.
