Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and morbid complication after severe burn, with an incidence and mortality as high as 30% and 80%, respectively. AKI is a broad clinical condition with many etiologies, which makes definition and diagnosis challenging. The most recent Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) consensus guidelines defined stage and severity of AKI based on changes of serum...
This prospective, randomised study compares a new transforming methacrylate dressing (TMD) with a silver‐containing carboxymethylcellulose dressing (CMC‐Ag) after application to split‐thickness skin graft (STSG) donor sites. This was an unblinded, non‐inferiority, between‐patient, comparison study that involved patients admitted to a single‐centre burn unit who required two skin graft donor sites...
A severe burn leads to hypermetabolism and catabolism resulting in compromised function and structural changes of essential organs. The release of cytokines has been implicated in this hypermetabolic response. The severity of the hypermetabolic response following burn injury increases with age, as does the mortality rate. Due to the relationship between the hypermetabolic and inflammatory responses,...
