82
Q

Physiology of patients after thermal injury (9)

A
  1. Hypovolemia and decreased cardiac output
  2. Massive leak of fluid and electrolytes from intravascular space into interstitial space (edema, hypovolemia)
  3. Hypothermia
  4. Anemia and thrombocytopenia
  5. Hypercoaguable state
  6. Proliferation of nicotinic receptors after 24 hours
  7. Possible acute renal failure
  8. Altered pulmonary physiology
  9. Hypermetabolic phase
83
Q

What causes hypovolemia and decreased cardiac output in burn patients?

A
  1. Drainage and evaporation from burn wounds

2. An intense inflammatory response, leading to vasodilation and increased capillary permeability

84
Q

Proliferation of nicotinic Ach receptors causes:

A
  1. Resistance to nondepolarizers

2. Sensitivity to Sux

85
Q

What happens with hypermetabolic phase in patients with a burn injury?

A
  1. Massive surge in catecholamines and corticosteroids
  2. Increased myocardial oxygen consumption and work
  3. Insulin resistance
  4. Fever
  5. Liver dysfunction
86
Q

First priority after thermal injury

A

Immediate airway assessment

87
Q

Safest intubation option

A

Awake fiberoptic intubation with maintenance of spontaneous ventilation

88
Q

Why are lower drug doses required in the initial burn shock phase? (1st 48 hours)

A

Renal and hepatic flow is decreased
-vasodilation and increased vascular permeability lead to large fluid shifts to the interstitial space, leading to low blood volume, increased hematocrit and low cardiac output

89
Q

Drug dosing requirements in the hypermetabolic phase (48-72 hours)

A

MAC requirements are higher

Fluid overload can lead to higher drug dosing requirements

90
Q

Succinylcholine guidelines for burns

A
  1. Can be safely administered within 24 hours
  2. Should be avoided for 24-48 hours after thermal injury
  3. May consider using 1-2 years after thermal injury occurred
91
Q

Intraoperative goals for thermal injury

A
  1. Rapid and effective intravascular volume replacement
  2. Low tidal volumes should be used with mechanical ventilation (6ml/kg Vt and <30cmH2O PIP)
  3. Efforts to minimize heat loss should be implemented
92
Q

What is the parkland formula for burn patients?

A

4 ml/kg LR per percentage of TBSA burned within the first 24 hours
-first half of the volume should be administered within the first 8 hours

93
Q

Are colloids useful for burn resuscitation?

A

No, they can cause the vessels to become so vasodilated that they leak

94
Q

Potential infectious causes of sepsis

A
  1. CNS infections
  2. Cardiovascular infections
  3. Respiratory infections
  4. Gastrointestinal infections
  5. UTIs
  6. Generalized abscesses
95
Q

A
  1. Severe trauma or hemorrhage

2. Acute systemic disease (MI, PE, pancreatitis)
