Hypothalamic function altered: increased glucagon/cortisol/catecholamines. GI barrier function breaks down, leads to bacterial translocation. Nutritional needs dramatically increase (2-3 times normal). Overall catabolic state. Strategies to alter the hypermetabolic state have included antipyretics, β-adrenergic blockade, and NSAIDs.
INITIAL BURN EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT
BURN INJURY SEVERITY
Calculating total body surface area (TBSA) burned and presence of inhalation injury are the most important.
Depth of burn can be affected by mechanism, temperature, duration of contact, and thickness of skin. Patient comorbidities and age are other important factors. Patients may have coexisting traumatic injury (motor vehicle accidents, explosions, etc.). Patients should always be treated initially via Acute Trauma Life Support (ATLS) guidelines.
TBSA can be estimated by the “Rule of Nines” (Fig. 10-1)

Figure 10-1 A-C.Percent total body surface area burn as estimated by location in adults (A), children (B), and infants (C). (“Rule of Nines”). (Modified from Dimick JB, ed. Mulholland & Greenfield’s Surgery. 7th ed. Wolters Kluwer; 2022. Figure
12.2.)
The Rule of Nines is altered for children and infants whose heads are larger and extremities smaller than adult patients. The size of a patient’s palm is a reasonable estimate of 1% of TBSA.
DEPTH OF BURN
Superficial Burns (First Degree)
Involve the epidermis.
https://t.me/medicina_free
Symptoms similar to a bad sunburn and include hyperemia, blanching skin, and tenderness to palpation.
Blisters are not present.
Partial-Thickness Burns (Second Degree)
Involve the dermis and are categorized into superficial
partial-thickness and deep partial-thickness burns. This distinction is the most important, as it will determine the need for excision and grafting vs dressings and observation.
Superficial partial thickness. Painful
Papillary dermis involved without involvement of skin appendages. Raw surfaces are deeper red and tender to palpation. Blisters (either intact or ruptured) will be present.
*Blanches with pressure.
If the dermal appendages are intact, then healing without skin grafting is possible.
Deep partial thickness
Reticular dermis involved with skin appendages No capillary refill White
*Decreased to absent sensation
Full-Thickness Burns (Third Degree) result in destruction of
the epidermal and dermal layers
Burns extend into the subcutaneous tissues, muscle, or bone. Skin is white and nonblanching or, in deeper burns, dry and leathery in appearance. No sensation is present. If a burn is painful, it is not full thickness (sensory nerves are preserved). Will not heal on its own and will require excision and coverage.
INHALATION INJURY
Occurs in ~10% of burn patients.
https://t.me/medicina_free
History often includes fire in an enclosed space such as a basement. Physical Examination: singed nasal hairs, facial burns, carbonaceous sputum, and/or hoarseness
Agitation or shortness of breath may be caused by hypoxia. Fluorescein eye examination is mandatory for patients with facial burns to rule out corneal abrasions.
*Definitive diagnosis is made by direct airway examination using nasopharyngeal scope or fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
Early intubation for airway protection is mandatory. Intubation becomes much harder when the airway swells. Extubation criteria: passed spontaneous breathing trial (with a cuff leak), reasonable fluid balance, able to protect airway and manage secretions, CXR assessed for remaining edema/pneumonia, no OR planned in next 24 hours. BiPAP will likely not be an option due to facial burns, but heated high flow through a nasal cannula is an alternative.
Inhalation injury can be graded according to the Abbreviated Injury Score (AIS) on bronchoscopy
Grade 0 (no injury)—absence of carbonaceous deposits, erythema, edema, bronchorrhea, or obstruction Grade 1 (mild injury)—minor or patchy areas of erythema or carbonaceous deposits in the proximal or distal bronchi Grade 2 (moderate injury)—moderate degree of erythema, carbonaceous deposits, bronchorrhea, or bronchial obstruction Grade 3 (severe injury)—severe inflammation with friability, copious carbonaceous deposits, bronchorrhea, or obstruction Grade 4 (massive injury)—evidence of mucosal sloughing, necrosis, endoluminal obliteration
HAM Treatment for Intubated Patients With Suspected or Known Inhalation Injury
Nebulized heparin 100 000 IU/3 mL NS, Nebulized albuterol 2.5 mg, Nebulized Mucomyst (N-acetylcysteine) 3 mL of 20% solution
https://t.me/medicina_free
Therapy to continue for 7 days or until patient is extubated
Systemic Toxicity
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning
Should be suspected in any patient who was in an enclosed space fire. Occurs because CO has 200 times affinity for hemoglobin compared to O2.
CO will shift oxygen disassociation curve to the left and create tissue hypoxia. Physical examination demonstrates cherry red color of mucous membranes, altered level of consciousness, and agitation. Pulse oximetry may be normal (cannot distinguish between CO and O2).
Treatment is 100% oxygen because CO half-life is 4 hours on room air vs 1 hour on 100% FiO2.
Cyanide toxicity
Hydrogen cyanide is released during combustion of synthetic polymers. Should be suspected in any patient who was in an enclosed space fire, is unconscious, or has a lactic acidosis (lactate >4). Interferes with oxygen transfer in mitochondria, which results in tissue anoxia. Pulse oximetry is unreliable because oxygen uptake and carrying capacity are normal. Patients should be treated if in enclosed space fire exposure within the past 6 hours and any of the following: hypotension with SBP < 90, almond odor, or GCS ≤ 9.
*Treatment is Cyanokit (hydroxocobalamin 5 g IV). Will turn the urine dark pink and will cause wound exudate to develop pink hue. No need to repeat dose.

CRITERIA FOR TRANSFER TO BURN CENTER
Partial- or full-thickness burns >10% TBSA Burns involve the face, hands, feet, genitalia, perineum, or major joints Electrical or chemical burns Inhalation injuries Children in hospitals not equipped to treat pediatric patients Patients with significant comorbid medical conditions Trauma patients where the burn injury poses the greatest risk of morbidity or mortality Patients with burns who require social, emotional, and rehabilitative services
FLUID RESUSCITATION
*The Parkland formula is widely used to estimate fluid requirements in the first 24 hours
*First 24-hour requirement = 4 cc × %TBSA × weight in kilograms
For fluid resuscitation, only partial- and full-thickness burns count toward TBSA; do not include superficial degree burns. Lactated Ringer solution should be used as its composition is closest to extracellular fluid. Do not resuscitate with colloids (though some studies show patients with low albumin might benefit).
*Administer half of the above volume during the first 8 hours (calculated from the time of injury, not the time of hospital admission), and the other half over the next 16 hours.
Pediatric patients
Add maintenance fluid with D5 lactated Ringer solution.

Infants and children have limited stores of glycogen in liver, which can quickly lead to hypoglycemia.
*The adequacy of resuscitation is best judged by hourly urine output (0.5 mL/kg/h in adults or 1 mL/kg/h in children).
Also important to follow trend of base deficit, lactate and pH. These should continue to go down with adequate resuscitation. Swan Ganz Catheter or bedside ultrasound (IVC filling and cardiac contractility) can also be used to assess fluid status.
*Jackson burn model describes the distinct areas within every burn wound (Fig. 10-2)
Figure 10-2 Recommended escharotomy incisions are marked with dotted lines.
Zone of coagulation
https://t.me/medicina_free
Tissue is severely damaged and will not recover. Treatment: excision and grafting.
Zone of stasis
Tissue is inflamed with impaired vasculature. Tissue may recover with appropriate resuscitation. Surrounds zone of coagulation. Treatment: aggressive resuscitation.
Zone of hyperemia
Tissue has intense vasodilation with increased blood flow and should recover. Treatment: aggressive resuscitation.
Fluid resuscitation should be assessed on an hourly basis
Fluids should be regularly adjusted to maintain adequate urine output as both under- and over-resuscitation have severe consequences. Keep in mind that urine output might lag early in the resuscitation and it is important to avoid giving too much fluid to just increase urine if other parameters continue to improve. Jackson zone of stasis can potentially be salvageable with judicious fluid resuscitation. Under- or over-resuscitation may result in additional tissue loss. Over-resuscitation can predispose to:
Pulmonary edema with prolonged ventilator requirements. Increased tissue edema with subsequent need for escharotomy.
CIRCUMFERENTIAL BURNS AND ESCHAROTOMY (FIG. 10-3)
https://t.me/medicina_free
https://t.me/medicina_free
Figure 10-3 Jackson burn model.
Circumferential Burns
Can produce a tight, inelastic contraction with limited ability for expansion of tissues. As tissue edema develops during resuscitation, supraphysiologic pressures can develop with subsequent tissue ischemia and necrosis.
Burned Extremities
Physical signs are often obscured by the burn injury or tissue edema. However, physical examination remains your best clinical diagnostic tool. Doppler examination is unreliable in estimating tissue perfusion.
Burned Chest: circumferential burns can cause difficulty in ventilation with high peak pulmonary pressures.
Burned Abdomen
Circumferential burns can create an abdominal compartment syndrome. Bladder pressure is a good estimate of intra-abdominal pressure and can be measured via the Foley catheter.
Escharotomy is an incision of burned skin to relieve constriction.
When designing escharotomy incisions, remember that all burned skin will eventually be excised, so standard rules (eg, not making an incision perpendicular to a joint) do not apply. Electrocautery incision is the method of choice and can be performed at the bedside, as the burned skin is anesthetic.
Need to connect unburned skin to unburned skin. Burn eschar will “pop” when the constriction is released and a gap between edges of burned tissues will be created. Healthy, viable tissue (usually fat) should be present at the wound base.
