Cardiovascular Sys. effects of Burns
-vasoactive substances from injured tissues
-decreased circulating blood volume
-increased HR
-CO: decreases in the beginning, returns to normal, then increases in 24 hrs
Renal and GI sys. effects of Burns
-shunting of blood from kidneys to intestines
-Oliguria: decreased urine output
-Paralytic ileus: intestinal dysfunction
Immune Sys. effects of Burns
-immunosuppression
-increased infections
Electrical Burns

-small entrance wounds, large exit wounds
-Alternating Current worse than Circulating Current
Chemical Burns
-continue to burn until neutralized
-alkaline burn deeper
