Abstract:
Burn patients with large area of skin defect are prone to cause wound infection, severe fluid loss, and hypermetabolism, etc, which lead to sequential dysfunction of multiple systems and easily induce severe systemic infections and sepsis. At present, sepsis has been the leading causes of death in severe burn patients, and its early diagnosis and timely treatment are critical for successful treatment of patients. As burn sepsis has unique pathophysiological characteristics, the diagnostic criteria for general sepsis lack specificity for burn sepsis. Therefore, to understand the pathogenesis of burn will help deepen the understanding of the diagnostic system and interventional way of burn sepsis, thus developing more precise and intelligent therapeutic strategy.

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...
