Does Increased Patient Load Improve Mortality in Burns?

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2019
Introduction In burn care, as in other medical fields, there is a tendency to increase the required number of patients for center certifications.

Early albumin use improves mortality in difficult to resuscitate burn patients

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2012
The optimal resuscitation algorithm remains elusive for patients with a large burn injury. Recent reports from the military support that larger burns that do not respond well to ongoing lactated Ringer's solution resuscitation may improve with the use of 5% albumin and vasopressors. We hypothesized that the use of 5% albumin and vasopressors, as needed,
