Critical Care of the Burn Patient

Garrett W Britton et al. Surg Clin North Am. 2023 Jun.

Abstract

Care of the critically ill burned patient must integrate a multidisciplinary care team composed of burn care specialists. As resuscitative mortality decreases more patients are surviving to experience multisystem organ failure relating to complications of their injuries. Clinicians must be aware of physiologic changes following burn injury and the implicated impacts on management strategy. Promoting wound closure and rehabilitation should be the backdrop for which management decisions are made.
