Abstract:
In shock stage of extensive burns, the hemodynamics shows inherent and continuously dynamic changes, which gradually transits from " low output and high resistance" in early shock stage to " high output and low resistance" in the stage of edema reabsorption, with significant time-dependence. Normal values of hemodynamic parameters are not the endpoint of resuscitation for burn shock. To pursue the normalization of hemodynamic in shock stage will lead to excessive resuscitation. Urine output per hour is still the " gold standard" for burn shock resuscitation. Dynamic observation of hemodynamic variables can assist clinical treatment, and has more significant roles in refractory shock, cases combined with injuries of heart, lung or kidney, and special populations of the elderly and children.

Blood Pressure: Hypertension and Hypotension
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is 120-129/under 80 mm Hg. Hypertension, warranting treatment at 130/80 mm Hg, is often asymptomatic and can lead to severe cardiovascular events, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, chronic renal disease, or cardiac...
Burn Injuries
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
