Q

Complications in Burns

A

Infection

Fluid shifts -risk for compartment syndrome

Rhabdomyolysis

Hypermetabolic response - 24-72 hours ->Gluconeogenesis, weight loss, negative nitrogen balance, decr in E stores, incr risk of infection

Body temp -> risk for heat loss (increased cortisol, glucagon and catecholamine secretion)

Q

Care of wound pt

A

Nutrition must be assessed within first 24hr – needed to manage the hypermetabolic state
-High protein, high calorie
- Steroid-Oxandrolone (incr protein synthesis),
–propranolol (helps blunt hypermetabolic state), growth hormones (aid in wound healing)
Pain control, blood glucose control
Wound care
Topical antimicrobials: silver sulfadiazine (can cause kernicterus in peds, pancytopenia), bacitracin, mafenide cream (metabolic acidosis)
