Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Pediatric burn patients often develop fever within 48 hours, with rectal temperature (Tr) rising rapidly in the first 12 hours. Age is a key factor influencing temperature changes after burn injury.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Burn Care
  • Thermoregulation in Children
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Burn injuries in children can significantly disrupt normal thermoregulation.
  • Post-burn fever is a common complication requiring careful monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate rectal temperature (Tr) and skin temperature patterns in pediatric burn patients.
  • To identify factors influencing temperature changes in the first 48 hours post-burn.

Main Methods:

  • Studied rectal temperature (Tr), thigh (Tthigh), and toe (Ttoe) temperatures in 40 children post-burn.
  • Monitored temperatures for 48 hours following burn injury and intravenous resuscitation.

Main Results:

  • Rectal temperature (Tr) was elevated in 19 children on admission (2-6h post-burn).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Fever (Tr > 38.5°C) occurred in 67% of patients within 12 hours; 10 children exceeded 40.0°C.
  • Age was the most significant variable, with a positive correlation between Tr and age in infants (5-23 months).
  • Thigh temperature (Tthigh) mirrored Tr, while Ttoe reflected cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pediatric burn patients frequently experience elevated rectal temperatures and fever within 48 hours.
    • Age is a critical factor in thermoregulation post-burn, particularly in infants.
    • Skin temperature variations provide insights into both thermoregulation and cardiovascular status.
