CHAPTER3 Pathophysiological response toburns
Systemic changes
Multisystem changes occur following large burns (>20– 30% TBSA).
Cardiovascular function and burn shock
Burn shock occurs when organ function is compromised by reduced per­fusion. The mechanisms leading to burn shock are a complex interplay between hypovolaemia and several inammatory mediators released post­burn, such as histamine (see Table 3.1).
Heat disturbs vascular endothelial and cell membrane integrity. Increased microvascular permeability allows leakage of uid from the intravascular space, which becomes hypovolaemic, to the interstitial space, where it causes oedema. Insensible uid losses are also increased secondary to evaporation following loss of epithelial barrier function. Homeostatic com­pensation is attempted by a rise in peripheral vascular resistance. These changes contribute to the reduction of cardiac output (CO) immediately post burn. However, CO falls before hypovolaemia occurs, suggesting a simultaneous direct neurogenic response. Further, the myocardium may be depressed by a mediator released by burn wounds, although this is not yet fully characterised. Cardiac dysfunction in the rst two days (ebb phase) further stimulates release of inammatory mediators – a positive feedback cycle.
The kidneys receive 25% of cardiac output and are therefore sensitive to reductions in circulating volume. Hypovolaemia leads to pre- renal acute kidney injury and, potentially, renal failure which can have a mortality rate of 88% for adults and 56% for children.
Early and adequate uid resuscitation is crucial in ameliorating the eects of burn shock. However, since inammatory mediators including a myocar­dial depressant factor contribute to burn shock, correcting hypovolaemia alone does not entirely obviate the problem. Further, although patients with extensive burn require large amounts of uid, resuscitation should be closely monitored since restoration of circulating volume can exacerbate oedema caused by hyperpermeable vessels.
Eect onmetabolism and inammation
A stereotyped neuroendocrine response occurs following trauma. This re­sponse is possibly an evolutionary adaptation to mobilise energy sources, primarily glucose for the ‘ght or ight’ response. Neural excitability re­sults in increased secretion of catabolic hormones such as cortisol and glucagon, anti- insulin hormones such as growth hormone (GH) and cat­echolamines. In concert, these hormones cause hyperglycaemia by inducing glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenic substrates are derived from lipolysis and proteolysis partially explaining lean muscle loss and cach­exia. This stress response to trauma is clinically indicated by tachycardia, pyrexia and elevation of serum neutrophil and inammatory markers, e.g. CRP (C- reactive- protein).
A systemic immunoendocrine response also occurs following large burns and other critical illnesses. Transcriptome analysis shows that similar genes are activated secondary to endotoxaemia, blunt trauma, and burns. However, the response to burns is massively amplied and proportionate to burn size. Post- burn immunoendocrine changes persist beyond wound

Vasopressin, with catecholamines, is likely largely responsible for increased system vascular resistance which increases left heart afterload and, therefore, cardiac work

closure for up to 3years. These changes are associated with adverse out­comes such immune incompetence and associated sepsis, increased frac­ture risk, growth retardation, reduced organ function, impaired wound healing, and death.
The primary mediators of the hypermetabolic response are catechol­amines, glucocorticoids, and inammatory cytokines, such as the pro- in­ammatory interleukins (IL) 1 and 6. These mediators remain elevated for up to 36months post burn. Jeschke etal. compared several hypermetabolic and inammatory parameters in 977 burned children (>30% TBSA) and 107 age- matched controls. Predicted resting energy expenditure (REE) was signicantly greater in burned children from injury up to 2 years post burn, indicating prolonged hypermetabolism. Up to 2000- fold rises in proinammatory cytokines (IL 6 and 8) and chemokines (granulocyte­colony stimulating factor (CSF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein- 1) were recorded for 36months. Levels of catecholamines, glucocorticoids, acute- phase proteins, and other cytokine were also elevated to varying ex­tents and lengths of time (see Table 3.2).
Serum hormone panels are also deranged following large burns. For example, growth hormone, parathormone, oestradiol, and testosterone levels may be reduced whereas progesterone levels are elevated. Insulin levels are signicantly elevated but sustained hyperglycaemia suggests an insulin- resistant state. Elevated levels of catabolic hormones such as cat­echolamines, cortisol, and glucagon, as well as increased glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, also cause hyperglycaemia which is linked to immune dys­function and increased risk of infections.

Body composition and organ changes secondary tohypermetabolism
The hypermetabolic and hyperinammatory stress response produces long- term changes in body composition and organ function.
Bone mineral content, lean body mass, fat content, height, and weight
were all signicantly reduced in burned children for 36months post burn.
Loss of lean body mass results from muscle protein catabolism which is increased to provide gluconeogenic substrates. However, since the sequelae of low LBM can be fatal (see Table 3.3), pharmacological and nu­tritional interventions are important to ameliorate proteolysis. Asimilarly multifaceted approach including anabolic agents— such as oxandrolone and growth hormone (GH)— and physical therapies is required to correct post­burn osteopenia.
In burnt children, the liver remains almost double the size of controls with correspondingly elevated transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, and re­duced albumin. Hepatomegaly is associated with increased septic suscepti­bility and mortality risks.
Eect onother systems
Burns can also adversely aect other systems directly or indirectly (see Table3.4).
Gastrointestinal mucosal atrophy occurs early and aects absorption of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. Intestinal permeability is also in­creased, increasing the risk of sepsis. Furthermore, intestinal blood ow decreases. These changes, along with post- burn ileus, reduce the body’s capacity to absorb nutrients required to support the hypermetabolic states. Early enteral feeding is crucial to ameliorate these changes in an eort to avoid potentially catastrophic malnutrition.
The immune system is also globally depressed following burns. The scale of immune depression is proportional to burn size. Burn patients, by virtue of lost skin barrier function, are susceptible to microbial col­onization. Immune incompetence further reduces the capacity to mount responses. Patients become susceptible to a range of infective complica­tions which can be fatal. Sepsis remains the largest cause of post- burn mortality.
Pulmonary function is also adversely aected by burn- induced oedema, regardless of whether inhalation injury is present. Burns increase pulmonary vascular resistance and wedge pressures. This, combined with neutrophil and TNF- α- mediated increases in pulmonary microvascular permeability, encourages uid shifts. Both hypoprotenaemia, from plasma protein loss

through the burn wound, and overzealous uid resuscitation also increase risk of pulmonary oedema. Reduced airway compliance and impaired gas­eous exchange occurs. Respiratory function could also be aected by pro­teolysis of intercostal and accessory muscles of respiration secondary to hypermetabolism.

CHAPTER4 Hypermetabolic response toburns
Hypermetabolic response toburns
Although improvements in clinical care have been made over the past three decades and these improvements have translated into reduced morbidity and mortality, a large thermal injury remains one of the most disastrous injuries today.
The burn survivor experiences not only several psychosocial stressors and disgurement, but also a unique metabolic response to the trauma that does not resolve with burn wound closure and healing. This problem has been best studied in paediatric burn patients.
These hypermetabolic and catabolic responses are seen in patients with burns over more than 30% of the total body surface area (TBSA). Two phases are observed:
• The ‘ebb’ phase starts immediately after a burn, lasts 2– 3days, and is
characterized by a ‘shock state’ with decreases in cardiac output, oxygen
consumption, metabolism, and glucose tolerance
• The ‘ow’ phase starts approximately 5days after a burn. This phase
can last up to 3years (the maximum follow- up period reported)
in paediatric patients with >30% TBSA burned. The ow phase is
characterized by persistent hypermetabolic and inammatory responses,
leading to catabolism and loss of function, which delay re- integration of
the burn survivor into society
Findings:
• Metabolism:Indirect calorimetry is used to quantitate hypermetabolism.
The resting metabolic rate increases immediately post burn to 180%
of the basal rate during the acute phase, is 110% at 12months, and
remains elevated up to 3years post burn. Heightened glycogenolysis,
gluconeogenesis, and lipolysis create an environment of elevated
glucogenic precursors, resulting in hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance.
Hyperglycaemia itself is associated with a higher infection rate, which
in turn exacerbates metabolism and catabolism. Serum triglycerides
and glucose levels increase gradually during the ow phase and remain
elevated even after wound healing is complete. These elevations, which
can also last for up to 3years, are associated with peripheral lipolysis
and insulin resistance
• Body composition:Catabolism (characterized by muscle wasting, a
negative nitrogen balance, weight loss, and decreased bone mineral
content) can be so severe that growth arrest can result. Metabolic
studies have shown that muscle protein is broken down to fuel the
hypermetabolic response. Without intervention, a lethal loss of
20– 25mg/ m2 nitrogen can be reached in 2– 3 weeks after a
severe burn
• Organs:Cardiac output increases after the ebb phase. Studies in
paediatric patients with >30% TBSA burns have shown that cardiac
output remains increased for up to 12months after a burn before
returning to age- matched, non- burned, normal values. An increase in
liver size, as measured by ultrasound, occurs in paediatric burn patients
and does not return to normal even after 3years

HYPERMETABOLIC RESPONSE TOBURNS
• Inammatory response:Many cytokines and acute- phase proteins are
elevated after a burn. Dramatic changes have been observed for IL- 6, IL- 8, G- CSF, and MCP- 1, with increases of up to 2,000- fold compared to non- burned control levels. GM- CSF, INF- γ, TNF- α, IL- 1β, IL- 2, IL- 5, IL- 7, IL- 10, and IL- 17 increase signicantly above control levels and have been found to remain elevated for most of the 3- year follow- up period. Alterations in serum acute- phase proteins include elevations of serum complement C3, haptoglobin, α1- acidglycoprotein, and CRP, with decreases in α2- macroglobulin. Expression of serum constitutive hepatic proteins such as transferrin, retinol- binding protein, and pre- albumin are lower in burn patients than in controls. Hepatic enzymes are elevated with concurrent decreases in albumin
• Hormonal imbalance:Urinary catecholamines and cortisol are elevated
immediately after a burn and remained elevated. Norepinephrine is elevated up to 540days post burn. Decreases in growth hormone, insulin growth factor- 1, insulin- like growth factor binding protein- 3, and parathyroid hormone occur as well
Additionally, infections and sepsis are associated with signicant increases in metabolism and oxygen consumption, which may underlie adverse out­comes after a burn.
