Q

Zone of stasis: what occurs here?

A

reducedtissueperfusionandcompromisedcells;resuscitationaimstoimproveperfusioninthiszone. Additional insult with hypotension, edema or infection risks conversion to irreversible destruction This is a zone of compromised, sluggish blood flow (hence, “stasis). It typically progresses into coagulation necrosis over 1st 48 h and it is the zone responsible for generating systemic inflammation and burn shock acutely. New insults like hypotension, edema, hypoxia can convert the zone into necrosis but this is distinct from progression.

A

epidermis and all of dermis - no sensation, thrombosed vessels, + charred

29
Q

Burn damage: fourth degree burn: what is this?

A

injury to m, tendon, bone
thick full thickness butalso contractions

30
Q

What type of burn (and beyond that) needs excision and grafting?

A

deep partial thickness

31
Q

Treatment of superficial burn

A

none and moisturizer

32
Q

Tx of superficial partial thickness burn -

A

antimicrobial, silver dressing and or polysporin for sm wounds

33
Q

Baux score: what is this?

A

nomogram predictor of mortality in a burn patient by including age, tbsa, inhalation injury = + 17

  • 50% mortality if à age + %TBSA = 110 or
  • 50% mortality if à age + %TBSA + inhalation injury = 100

Q

Indications for prophylactic intubation: list 7

A

inhalational injury/reasonable suspicion
sign deep facial neck burn
large burn with sign fluid resus (expectant airway edema >40%)
long transport
resp failure
close range explosion

40
Q

Burns >20% tbsa have a systemic response: burn shock and stress response: what are these?

A
  • BurnShockresultsinanincreaseoftotalbodycapillarypermeabilitycausedbyinterplaybetweenhypovolemiaandrelease
    of multiple inflammatory mediators
  • Subsequently, even with correction of hypovolemia, get myocardial depression, increased pulmonary and SVR
  • Stressresponse:metabolicabnormalities:increasecatabolichormones,decreaseanabolichomones,increasedmetabolicrate, unresponsiveness of catabolism to nutrition intake
  • Need to focus on controlling catabolic response

A

1-1.5cc/hour

52
Q
A
53
