Abstract
This Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) addresses the topic of acute fluid resuscitation during the first 48 hours following a burn injury for adults with burns ≥20% of the total body surface area (%TBSA). The listed authors formed an investigation panel and developed clinically relevant PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) questions. A systematic literature search returned 5978 titles related to this topic and after 3 levels of screening, 24 studies met criteria to address the PICO questions and were critically reviewed. We recommend that clinicians consider the use of human albumin solution, especially in patients with larger burns, to lower resuscitation volumes and improve urine output. We recommend initiating resuscitation based on providing 2 mL/kg/% TBSA burn in order to reduce resuscitation fluid volumes. We recommend selective monitoring of intra-abdominal and intraocular pressure during burn shock resuscitation. We make a weak recommendation for clinicians to consider the use of computer decision support software to guide fluid titration and lower resuscitation fluid volumes. We do not recommend the use of transpulmonary thermodilution-derived variables to guide burn shock resuscitation. We are unable to make any recommendations on the use of high-dose vitamin C (ascorbic acid), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), early continuous renal replacement therapy, or vasopressors as adjuncts during acute burn shock resuscitation. Mortality is an important outcome in burn shock resuscitation, but it was not formally included as a PICO outcome because the available scientific literature is missing studies of sufficient population size and quality to allow us to confidently make recommendations related to the outcome of survival at this time.

[PMID: 38641612 PMCID: PMC11031897 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-024-10980-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Burn treatments are complex, and for this reason, a specialised multidisciplinary approach is recommended. Evaluating the quality of care provided to acute burn patients through quality indicators makes it possible to develop and implement measures aiming at better results. There is a lack of information on which indicators to evaluate care in burn patients. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify a list of quality indicators used to evaluate the quality of hospital care provided to acute burn patients and indicate possible aspects of care that do not have specific indicators in the literature. METHOD A comprehensive scoping review (PRISMA-ScR) was conducted in four databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Lilacs/VHL) between July 25 and 30, 2022 and redone on October 6, 2022. Potentially relevant articles were evaluated for eligibility. General data and the identified quality indicators were collected for each included article. Each indicator was classified as a structure, process, or outcome indicator. RESULTS A total of 1548 studies were identified, 82 were included, and their reference lists were searched, adding 19 more publications. Thus, data were collected from 101 studies. This review identified eight structure quality indicators, 72 process indicators, and 19 outcome indicators listed and subdivided according to their objectives. CONCLUSION This study obtained a list of quality indicators already used to monitor and evaluate the hospital care of acute burn patients. These indicators may be useful for further research or implementation in quality improvement programs. TRIAL REGISTRATION Protocol was registered on the Open Science Framework platform on June 27, 2022 ( https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/NAW85 ).

Abstract
PURPOSE Nowadays, it is largely accepted that albumin should not be used in hypoalbuminemia or for nutritional purpose. The most discussed indication of albumin at present is the resuscitation in shock states, especially distributive shocks such as septic shock. The main evidence-based indication is also liver disease. In this review, we provided updated evidence-based instruction for definite and potential indications of albumin administration in clinical practice, with appropriate dosing and duration. METHODS Data collection was carried out until November 2023 by search of electronic databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. GRADE system has been used to determine the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations for each albumin indication. RESULTS A total of 165 relevant studies were included in this review. Fluid replacement in plasmapheresis and liver diseases, including hepatorenal syndrome, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and large-volume paracentesis, have a moderate to high quality of evidence and a strong recommendation for administering albumin. Moreover, albumin is used as a second-line and adjunctive to crystalloids for fluid resuscitation in hypovolemic shock, sepsis and septic shock, severe burns, toxic epidermal necrolysis, intradialytic hypotension, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, major surgery, non-traumatic brain injury, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and severe and refractory edema with hypoalbuminemia has a low to moderate quality of evidence and weak recommendation to use. Also, in modest volume paracentesis, severe hyponatremia in cirrhosis has a low to moderate quality of evidence and a weak recommendation. CONCLUSION Albumin administration is most indicated in management of cirrhosis complications. Fluid resuscitation or treatment of severe and refractory edema, especially in patients with hypoalbuminemia and not responding to other treatments, is another rational use for albumin. Implementation of evidence-based guidelines in hospitals can be an effective measure to reduce inappropriate uses of albumin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Massive burn patients are at risk of developing intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) as a complication of resuscitation. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) versus 5% albumin solution on intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in massive burn patients. METHODS This was a prospective randomized clinical trial carried on at Ain Shams University (ASU) burn unit for 2 years. Where adult patients with burns more than 20% of TBSA were equally randomized into HES group or albumin group. RESULTS Fifty-two patients were equally randomized into 2 groups. We found no difference in age, sex, weight, type of burn, and TBSA between the two groups. The mean total resuscitation fluid volume in the first 48 h was 213 ml/kg and 206.2 ml/kg for the HES group and the albumin group respectively (p = 0.674). IAP statistically was non-significantly higher in the HES group. We found no statistical difference between the two groups as regards the renal function tests. CONCLUSION Both HES and 5% albumin solution are effective and safe colloids for burn resuscitation. As regards the IAP, it seems that both 5% albumin and HES have comparable effect regarding IAH in severely burn patients. Both HES and 5% albumin were partially equal in terms of renal involvement and vital data stability.

Abstract
Albumin is the most abundant circulating protein and provides about 70% of the plasma oncotic power. The molecule also carries many other biological functions (binding, transport and detoxification of endogenous and exogenous compounds, antioxidation, and modulation of inflammatory and immune responses). Hypoalbuminemia is a frequent finding in many diseases, representing usually only a biomarker of poor prognosis rather than a primary pathophysiological event. Despite that, albumin is prescribed in many conditions based on the assumption that correction of hypoalbuminemia would lead to clinical benefits for the patients. Unfortunately, many of these indications are not supported by scientific evidence (or have been even disproved), so that a large part of albumin use is nowadays still inappropriate. Decompensated cirrhosis is the clinical area where albumin administration has been extensively studied and solid recommendations can be made. Besides prevention and treatment of acute complications, long-term albumin administration in patients with ascites has emerged in the last decade has a potential new disease-modifying treatment. In non-hepatological settings, albumin is widely used for fluid resuscitation in sepsis and critical illnesses, with no clear superiority over crystalloids. In many other conditions, scientific evidence supporting albumin prescription is weak or even absent. Thus, given its high cost and limited availability, action is needed to avoid the use of albumin for inappropriate and futile indications to ensure its availability in those conditions for which albumin has been demonstrated to have a real effectiveness and an advantage for the patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of albumin use during major surgery is unknown, and a dearth of evidence governing its use in major noncardiac surgery has long precluded its standardization in clinical guidelines. OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigate institutional variation in albumin use among medical centers in the United States during major noncardiac surgery and explore the association of intraoperative albumin administration with important postoperative outcomes. METHODS The study is an observational retrospective cohort analysis performed among 54 U.S. hospitals in the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group and includes adult patients who underwent major noncardiac surgery under general anesthesia between January 2014 and June 2020. The primary endpoint was the incidence of albumin administration. Secondary endpoints are acute kidney injury (AKI), net-positive fluid balance, pulmonary complications, and 30-day mortality. Albumin-exposed and albumin-unexposed cases were compared within a propensity score-matched cohort to evaluate associations of albumin use with outcomes. RESULTS Among 614,215 major surgeries, predominantly iso-oncotic albumin was administered in 15.3% of cases and featured significant inter-institutional variability in use patterns. Cases receiving intraoperative albumin involved patients of higher American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status and featured larger infused crystalloid volumes, greater blood loss, and vasopressor use. Overall, albumin was most often administered at high-volume surgery centers with academic affiliation, and within a propensity score-matched cohort (n=153,218), the use of albumin was associated with AKI (aOR 1.24, 95% CI 1.20-1.28, P <0.001), severe AKI (aOR 1.45, 95% CI 1.34-1.56, P <0.001), net-positive fluid balance (aOR 1.18, 95% CI 1.16-1.20, P <0.001), pulmonary complications (aOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.30-1.86, P <0.001), and 30-day all-cause mortality (aOR 1.37, 95% CI 1.26-1.49, P <0.001). CONCLUSIONS Intravenous albumin is commonly administered among noncardiac surgeries with significant inter-institutional variability in use in the United States. Albumin administration was associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications.

Abstract
Resuscitation is required for the management of patients with severe thermal injury. Some of the initial pathophysiologic events following burn injury include an exaggerated inflammatory state, injury to the endothelium, and increased capillary permeability, which all culminate in shock. Understanding these processes is critical to the effective management of patients with burn injuries. Formulas predicting fluid requirements during burn resuscitation have evolved over the past century in response to clinical experience and research efforts. Modern resuscitation features individualized fluid titration and monitoring along with colloid-based adjuncts. Despite these developments, complications from over-resuscitation still occur.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES ABRUPT was a prospective, noninterventional, observational study of resuscitation practices at 21 burn centers. The primary goal was to examine burn resuscitation with albumin or crystalloids alone, to design a future prospective randomized trial. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA No modern prospective study has determined whether to use colloids or crystalloids for acute burn resuscitation. METHODS Patients ≥18 years with burns ≥ 20% total body surface area (TBSA) had hourly documentation of resuscitation parameters for 48 hours. Patients received either crystalloids alone or had albumin supplemented to crystalloid based on center protocols. RESULTS Of 379 enrollees, two-thirds (253) were resuscitated with albumin and one-third (126) were resuscitated with crystalloid alone. Albumin patients received more total fluid than Crystalloid patients (5.2 ± 2.3 vs 3.7 ± 1.7 mL/kg/% TBSA burn/24 hours), but patients in the Albumin Group were older, had larger burns, higher admission Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores, and more inhalation injury. Albumin lowered the in-to-out (I/O) ratio and was started ≤12 hours in patients with the highest initial fluid requirements, given >12 hours with intermediate requirements, and avoided in patients who responded to crystalloid alone. CONCLUSIONS Albumin use is associated with older age, larger and deeper burns, and more severe organ dysfunction at presentation. Albumin supplementation is started when initial crystalloid rates are above expected targets and improves the I/O ratio. The fluid received in the first 24 hours was at or above the Parkland Formula estimate.

Abstract
Dengue is a mosquito-borne arboviral infection of increasing public health importance. Globally, children account for a significant proportion of infections. No pathogen-specific treatment currently exists, and the current approach to reducing disease burden is focused on preventative strategies such as vector control, epidemiological interventions, and vaccination in selected populations. Once infected, the mainstay of treatment is supportive, of which appropriate fluid management is a cornerstone. The timely provision of fluid boluses has historically been central to the management of septic shock. However, in patients with dengue shock, particular emphasis is placed on judicious fluid administration. Certain colloids such as hydroxyethyl starches and dextran, despite no longer being used routinely in intensive care units due to concerns of acute kidney injury and impairment of coagulation, are still commonly used in dengue shock syndrome. Current guidelines recommend initial crystalloid therapy, with consideration of colloids for severe or recalcitrant shock in patients with dengue. In this review, we discuss the pathophysiology of septic shock, and consider whether any differences in dengue exist that may warrant a separate approach to fluid therapy. We critically review the available evidence for fluid management in dengue, including the role of colloids. In dengue, there is increasing recognition of the importance of tailoring fluid therapy to phases of disease, with attention to the need for fluid "deresuscitation" once the critical phase of vascular leak passes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Burn injuries are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, and burn patients have higher chances of recovery if they are treated with effective fluid and colloid management. Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and albumin suspension used as a colloid treatment agent are very useful for the treatment of severe burns. METHODS This retrospective clinical trial was conducted at the Numune Education and Research Hospital Burn Center, Ankara, Turkey. Two hundred and nine patients who had severe burns that involved more than 30% of their total body surface area (TBSA) were studied. After the first 24 hours, 13 patients were deceased, leaving 196 patients remaining in the study, including 139 patients in the fresh frozen plasma group and 57 patients in the albumin group. Both the fresh frozen plasma and albumin groups received the standard therapy of the burn center, which was based on a standard protocol. Then, these patients were compared according to their clinical findings and mortality. RESULTS There were no significant differences between the groups with respect to age, gender, and comorbidities. The laboratory findings, blood, urine, and wound culture results were also similar between groups. The mortality rate was higher in the group receiving albumin than in the group receiving fresh frozen plasma (78.9% and 33.8%, respectively; p=0.0007). CONCLUSIONS According to this study, there was a significant relationship between the improvement in mortality and the mode of colloid treatment in patients with major burns.

Abstract
Burn shock and acute fluid resuscitation continue to spark intense interest and debate among burn clinicians. Following a major burn injury, fluid resuscitation of burn shock is life-saving, but paradoxically can also be a source of increased morbidity and mortality because of the unintended consequence of systemic edema formation. Considerable research over the past two decades has been devoted to understanding the mechanisms of edema formation, and to develop strategies to curb resuscitation fluids and limit edema development. Recognition of burn endotheliopathy - injury to the endothelium's glycocalyx layer- is one of the most important recent developments in our understanding of burn shock pathophysiology. Newer monitoring approaches and resuscitation endpoints, along with alternative resuscitation strategies to crystalloids alone, such as administration of albumin, or plasma, or high dose ascorbic acid, have had mixed results in limiting fluid creep. Clear demonstration of improvements in outcomes with all of these approaches remains elusive. This comprehensive review article on burn shock and acute resuscitation accompanies the American Burn Association's State of the Science meeting held in New Orleans, LA on November 2-3, 2021 and the Proceedings of that conference published in this journal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the rate of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) in a series of patients with Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB open tibial shaft fractures that were treated using a specific 2-stage orthoplastic protocol. DESIGN Consecutive cohort study. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS Ninety-three (n = 93) consecutive patients with a type IIIB open tibial shaft fracture (OTA/AO-42) treated using a 2-stage orthoplastic approach, between August 2015 and January 2018. After exclusions, 83 (n = 83) were eligible for analysis. INTERVENTION Colloid resuscitation and 2-stage orthoplastic reconstruction of type IIIB open tibial shaft fracture. Stage 1 consists of "3-vessel view" early debridement and temporary internal fixation, with stage 2 consisting of a single-stage fix and flap. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Rate of ACS. Secondary outcomes included early/late sequelae of missed ACS, deep infection, arterial injury, nonunion, and flap failure. RESULTS Eighty-three (n = 83) patients were included for analysis. The median age was 45.4 years [interquartile range (IQR) 35] with a median follow-up of 1.6 years (IQR 0.8). The median number of operations was 2.0 (IQR 4). For the primary outcome, there were a total of 0 (0/83) patients who required fasciotomy or developed early/late clinical sequelae of missed ACS. Six (6/83, 7.2%) patients developed deep infection, 18 patients (18/83, 21.7%) experienced nonischemic arterial injury, 5 patients (5/83, 6.0%) experienced nonunion, with 4 patients (4/83, 4.8%) experiencing flap failure. Diabetes was the only variable associated with deep infection (P = 0.025) and nonunion (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with type IIIB open tibial shaft fractures treated with colloid resuscitation and a 2-stage orthoplastic protocol, which includes early "3-vessel view" exposure and debridement, do not appear to develop ACS. Furthermore, no sequelae of missed compartment syndrome was observed at final follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) early after a major burn has not been widely studied. Our purpose was to evaluate the prevalence of and risk factors for early AKI and the effect of early AKI on outcome. Retrospective cohort study of adults with burns ≥20% TBSA admitted between November 24, 2015 and July 1, 2019. "Early AKI" occurring within 7 days of injury was identified using urine output and serum creatinine Kidney Disease International Global Outcome criteria. Multivariate regression models were developed for development of early AKI, development of AKI on day 0 or 1 postburn ("very early AKI"), and for in-hospital death. Among 85 patients, 62.4% developed early AKI, of which 26% had stage 3 AKI. Renal replacement therapy was required in 64% of stage 3 patients by day 7. Patients with early AKI were significantly older [50 (40.5-61) vs 37.5 (27.2-46.8) years, P < .001], and a significantly greater proportion was intubated in the first 24 hours postburn (90.6 vs 59.4%, P = .001). Resuscitation with high-dose vitamin C (HDVC) was independently associated with more frequent early AKI. Older age was significantly associated and HDVC was closely associated with increased very early AKI. In-hospital mortality was 37.7% for patients with early AKI. Older age, larger burn size, and development of early stage 3 AKI were independently associated with increased in-hospital death. Early AKI is common and carries a poor prognosis for survival. Resuscitation involving HDVC appears to be related to a higher likelihood of early and possibly very early AKI.

Adoption of rescue colloid during burn resuscitation decreases fluid administered and restores end-organ perfusion. Burns 2021; 47:1844-1850. [PMID: 33658146 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2021.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2020] [Revised: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 02/11/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traditionally, lactated Ringer's solution (LR) has been utilized for the resuscitation of thermally injured patients via the Parkland or Brooke formulas. Both of these formulas include colloid supplementation after 24 h of resuscitation. Recently, the addition of albumin within the initial resuscitation has been reported to decrease fluid creep and hourly fluids given. Our institution has previously advocated for a crystalloid-driven resuscitation. Given reports of improved outcomes with albumin, we pragmatically adjusted these practices and present our findings for doing so. METHODS Our burn registry, consisting of prospectively collected patient data, was queried for those at least 18 years of age who, between July 2017 and December 2018, sustained a thermal injury and completed a formal resuscitation (24 h). At the attending physician's discretion, rescue colloid was administered using 25% albumin for those failing to respond to traditional resuscitation (patients with sustained urine output of <0.5 mL/kg over 2-3 h, or unstable vital signs and ongoing fluid administration). We compared the total volume of the crystalloid-only and rescue colloid resuscitation fluids given to patients. We also examined the in/out fluid balances during resuscitation. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata software. RESULTS A total of 91 patients with thermal injuries were included: the median age was 40 (IQR 31-57), 73% were male, and 30 patients received rescue albumin. The percentage of total body surface area burned (%TBSA) was greater in those who received rescue albumin (40.3% vs. 34%; p = 0.047). Despite a higher %TBSA in the albumin group, the total LR given during resuscitation was not significantly different between groups (15,914.43 mL vs. 11,828.71 mL; p = 0.129) even when normalized for TBSA and weight (ml LR/kg/%TBSA: 4.31 vs. 3.66; p = 0.129. The average in/out fluid ratio for the rescue group was higher than for the crystalloid group (0.83 ± 0.05 vs. 0.59 ± 0.11; p = 0.06) and returned to normal after colloid administration. CONCLUSION Rescue albumin administration decreases the amount of fluid administered per %TBSA during resuscitation, and also increases end organ function as evidenced by increased urinary output. These effects occurred in patients who sustained larger burns and failed to respond to traditional crystalloid resuscitation. Our findings led us to modify our current protocol and a related prospective study of clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Fluid resuscitation in the first 48 hours postburn is crucial in the management of burn shock. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate nurses' adherence to a nurse-driven fluid resuscitation protocol at one adult burn center. Their secondary goal was to establish that the use of a nursing-driven protocol did not result in over resuscitation. Following implementation of a nurse-driven burn resuscitation protocol, a 48-hour data resuscitation data collection tool was developed by the burn physicians and nurses. All resuscitations were reviewed in real-time and in burn leadership meeting to identify opportunities for improvement. Follow-up with nursing staff was done in real time by the clinical nurse specialist following each burn resuscitation. Twenty-two patients requiring formal fluid resuscitation were included in the review. Patients had a median age of 36.5(IQR: 38.74) years and were predominantly male. They found that in the first 24 hours that patients received 3.47 ml/kg/hr and then in the next 24 hours they received an average of 2.68 ml/kg/hr. All 22 patients' resuscitation was initiated using the Parkland formula in the emergency department, and nurses were successful in consistently adjusting fluid infusions consistent with the protocol. Using a multidisciplinary approach and preparatory and real-time education processes, burn nurses can successfully guide burn resuscitation. Providing education and follow-up in real time can improve the process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe burn and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) lead to significant mortality, and combined burn-TBI injuries may predispose towards even worse outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mortality of patients with burn, burn with non-TBI trauma, and combined burn/TBI to determine if combined injury portends a worse outcome. METHODS We obtained the National Trauma Data Bank from 2007 to 2012, identifying 32,334 patients with burn related injuries, dividing this cohort into three injury types: BURN ONLY, BURN with TRAUMA/NO TBI, and BURN with TBI. For each patient, demographic data was obtained, including age, gender, presence of trauma, TBI, or inhalation injury, burn total body surface area (TBSA), Glasgow Coma Scale, Injury Severity Score, and mortality. Multivariable logistic regression was performed. RESULTS Age, gender, and TBSA were similar across the three injury groups, but the incidence of inhalation injury was doubled in the BURN with TRAUMA/NO TBI (15.4 %) and BURN with TBI (15.3 %) groups when compared to the BURN ONLY (7.2 %) group. Mortality differed across injury categories after adjusting for age, TBSA, and inhalation injury. Increased mortality was seen in BURN with TRAUMA/NO TBI versus BURN ONLY (OR = 1.27 [1.06, 1.53]) and was higher when comparing BURN with TBI versus BURN ONLY (OR = 4.22 [2.85, 6.18]). BURN with TBI also had higher mortality when compared to BURN with TRAUMA/NO TBI (OR = 3.33 [2.30, 4.82]). The logs odds of mortality also increased with increasing age, TBSA and presence of inhalation injury. DISCUSSION This analysis of the NTDB suggests that mortality following burn-related injuries may be higher when burn injury is combined with TBI when compared to burns with other trauma, even after correcting for age, TBSA, and inhalation injury. Further clinical and laboratory research is needed to validate these findings and better understand how to optimize combined TBI and burn injury treatment.

Abstract
This is a recommended management algorithm from the Western Trauma Association addressing the management of victims of burn injury. Because there is a paucity of published prospective randomized clinical trials that have generated Class I data, these recommendations are based primarily on published retrospective studies, clinical guidelines, and the expert opinion of members of the Western Trauma Association in conjunction with partner members of the American Burn Association. The algorithm and accompanying comments represent one safe and sensible approach that can be followed at most trauma centers. We recognize that there may be patient or institutional factors that warrant deviation from the published algorithm. We would encourage institutions to use this document as a starting point toward a dialog with local burn centers to collaboratively create a patient-centered care experience for the victims of minor burn injuries arriving at local trauma centers.

Abstract
Intravenous fluid administration should be considered as any other pharmacological prescription. There are three main indications: resuscitation, replacement, and maintenance. Moreover, the impact of fluid administration as drug diluent or to preserve catheter patency, i.e., fluid creep, should also be considered. As for antibiotics, intravenous fluid administration should follow the four Ds: drug, dosing, duration, de-escalation. Among crystalloids, balanced solutions limit acid–base alterations and chloride load and should be preferred, as this likely prevents renal dysfunction. Among colloids, albumin, the only available natural colloid, may have beneficial effects. The last decade has seen growing interest in the potential harms related to fluid overloading. In the perioperative setting, appropriate fluid management that maintains adequate organ perfusion while limiting fluid administration should represent the standard of care. Protocols including a restrictive continuous fluid administration alongside bolus administration to achieve hemodynamic targets have been proposed. A similar approach should be considered also for critically ill patients, in whom increased endothelial permeability makes this strategy more relevant. Active de-escalation protocols may be necessary in a later phase. The R.O.S.E. conceptual model (Resuscitation, Optimization, Stabilization, Evacuation) summarizes accurately a dynamic approach to fluid therapy, maximizing benefits and minimizing harms. Even in specific categories of critically ill patients, i.e., with trauma or burns, fluid therapy should be carefully applied, considering the importance of their specific aims; maintaining peripheral oxygen delivery, while avoiding the consequences of fluid overload.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Patients with severe burn injuries pose significant challenges for the intensivist. Though average burn sizes have decreased over time, severe burn injuries involving greater than 20% of the total body surface area still occur. Verified burn centers are limited, making the management of severely burn injured patients at nonspecialized ICUs likely. Current practices in burn care have increased survivability even from massive burns. It is important for intensivists to be aware of the unique complications and therapeutic options in burn critical care management. This review critically discusses current practices and recently published data regarding the evaluation and management of severe burn injury. RECENT FINDINGS Burn patients have long, complex ICU stays with accompanying multiorgan dysfunction. Recent advances in burn intensive care have focused on acute respiratory distress syndrome from inhalation injury, acute kidney injury (AKI), and transfusion, resulting in new strategies for organ failure, including renal replacement therapy and extracorporeal life support. SUMMARY Initial evaluation and treatment of acute severe burn injury remains an ongoing area of study. This manuscript reviews current practices and considerations in the acute management of the severely burn injured patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To provide recommendations to facilitate the management of severe thermal burns during the acute phase in adults and children. DESIGN A committee of 20 experts was asked to produce recommendations in six fields of burn management, namely, (1) assessment, admission to specialised burns centres, and telemedicine; (2) haemodynamic management; (3) airway management and smoke inhalation; (4) anaesthesia and analgesia; (5) burn wound treatments; and (6) other treatments. At the start of the recommendation-formulation process, a formal conflict-of-interest policy was developed and enforced throughout the process. The entire process was conducted independently of any industry funding. The experts drew up a list of questions that were formulated according to the PICO model (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes). Two bibliography experts per field analysed the literature published from January 2000 onwards using predefined keywords according to PRISMA recommendations. The quality of data from the selected literature was assessed using GRADE® methodology. Due to the current paucity of sufficiently powered studies regarding hard outcomes (i.e. mortality), the recommendations are based on expert opinion. RESULTS The SFAR guidelines panel generated 24 statements regarding the management of acute burn injuries in adults and children. After two scoring rounds and one amendment, strong agreement was reached for all recommendations. CONCLUSION Substantial agreement was reached among a large cohort of experts regarding numerous strong recommendations to optimise the management of acute burn injuries in adults and children.

Abstract
Burn injuries are under-appreciated injuries that are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Burn injuries, particularly severe burns, are accompanied by an immune and inflammatory response, metabolic changes and distributive shock that can be challenging to manage and can lead to multiple organ failure. Of great importance is that the injury affects not only the physical health, but also the mental health and quality of life of the patient. Accordingly, patients with burn injury cannot be considered recovered when the wounds have healed; instead, burn injury leads to long-term profound alterations that must be addressed to optimize quality of life. Burn care providers are, therefore, faced with a plethora of challenges including acute and critical care management, long-term care and rehabilitation. The aim of this Primer is not only to give an overview and update about burn care, but also to raise awareness of the ongoing challenges and stigmata associated with burn injuries.

Fluid volumes infused during burn resuscitation 1980-2015: A quantitative review. Burns 2019; 46:52-57.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION 'Fluid creep' or excessive fluid delivered to burn patients during early resuscitation has been suggested by several studies from individual burn centers. METHODS We performed a Medline search from 1980 to 2015 in order to identify studies of burn patients predominantly resuscitated with lactated Ringers with infusion adjusted per urinary output. Data was abstracted for 48 publications (3196 patients) that met entry criteria. RESULTS Higher resuscitation volumes compared to Parkland estimates were reported, but the trend of increasing resuscitation volumes over the last 30 years is not supported by regression of total fluid infused versus year of study. Mean 24h fluid infused for all studies was 5.2±1.1mL/kg per %TBSA. The mean 24h urinary output reported in 30 studies was 1.2±0.5mL/kg per hr. Burns with inhalation injuries (5 studies) received significantly more fluid than non-inhalation injured burn patients (5.0±1.3 versus 3.9±0.9mL/kg per %TBSA). Fluid infused and urinary outputs were similar for adults and pediatric patients. The most striking finding of our analyses was the great ranges of the means and high standard deviations of volumes infused compared to the original Baxter publication that introduced the Parkland formula CONCLUSIONS: These analyses suggest that burn units currently administer volumes larger than Parkland formula with great patient variability. Individual patient hourly data is needed to better understand the record of burn resuscitation and Fluid Creep.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoalbuminemia is a frequent condition in the first 24 h after a severe burn injury and is associated with worse outcomes. METHODOLOGY We investigated the relation between very early hypoalbuminemia (<6 h after admission) and clinical outcome in a retrospective cohort admitted to our unit for severe burn injuries between 2012 and 2017. RESULTS 73 severely burned patients were included, with a delay of admission of 3 (2-4) h. In a context of early exogenous supply of albumin, admission and 4H Albuminemia (Alb4 h) were significantly lower in deceased patients (respectively, 34 (29-37) vs 27 (23-30) g/l; p = 0.009 and 27 (24-32) vs 21 (17-27) g/l; p = 0.022) whereas albuminemia ≥6 h were not. The best threshold value of Alb4 h to discriminate 28-day mortality was 23 g/l. Patients with an Alb4 h < 23 g/l had a higher 28-day mortality than patients with an Alb4 h ≥ 23 g/l (42% vs 11%; p = 0.003); adjusted OR = 4.47 (95% CI 1.15-17.36); p = 0.03. CONCLUSION In severely burned patients receiving early albumin supply, early hypoalbuminemia is associated with higher mortality whereas later albuminemia (≥6 h) is not. Exploration of whether early albumin infusion (8-12 h post injury) may alter clinical outcome is warranted.

Electrical injury - a dual center analysis of patient characteristics, therapeutic specifics and outcome predictors. Scand J Trauma Resusc Emerg Med 2018; 26:43.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electrical injuries represent life-threatening emergencies. Evidence on differences between high (HVI) and low voltage injuries (LVI) regarding characteristics at presentation, rhabdomyolysis markers, surgical and intensive burn care and outcomes is scarce. METHODS Consecutive patients admitted to two burn centers for electrical injuries over an 18-year period (1998-2015) were evaluated. Analysis included comparisons of HVI vs. LVI regarding demographic data, diagnostic and treatment specific variables, particularly serum creatinine kinase (CK) and myoglobin levels over the course of 4 post injury days (PID), and outcomes. RESULTS Of 4075 patients, 162 patients (3.9%) with electrical injury were analyzed. A total of 82 patients (50.6%) were observed with HVI. These patients were younger, had considerably higher morbidity and mortality, and required more extensive burn surgery and more complex burn intensive care than patients with LVI. Admission CK and myoglobin levels correlated significantly with HVI, burn size, ventilator days, surgical interventions, amputation, flap surgery, renal replacement therapy, sepsis, and mortality. The highest serum levels were observed at PID 1 (myoglobin) and PID 2 (CK). In 23 patients (14.2%), cardiac arrhythmias were observed; only 4 of these arrhythmias occurred after hospital admission. The independent predictors of mortality were ventilator days (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.06-1.51, p = 0.009), number of surgical interventions (OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.27-0.834, p = 0.010) and limb amputations (OR 14.26, 95% CI 1.26-162.1, p = 0.032). CONCLUSIONS Patients with electrical injuries, HVI in particular, are at high risk for severe complications. Due to the need for highly specialized surgery and intensive care, treatment should be reserved to burn units. Serum myoglobin and CK levels reflect the severity of injury and may predict a more complex clinical course. Routine cardiac monitoring > 24 h post injury does not seem to be necessary.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the outcomes of a local healthcare system in managing a burn mass casualty incident (BMCI). METHODS Thirty-three victims admitted to the National Taiwan University Hospital within 96h of the explosion were included in the study. Data were recorded on: patient demographics, Baux score, laboratory data, management response, treatment strategies, and outcomes. Case notes from June 27, 2015 to November 2015 were reviewed with a focus on fluid resuscitation, ventilation support, nutrition, infection control, sepsis treatment, and wound closure plan. RESULTS Female predominance (mean age: 21.7 years) and lower extremity circumferential flame burns were the characteristics of the burn injury. The mean Baux score was 70±18. The mean burn area was 42% of the total body surface area (TBSA). A total of 79% patients arrived at the hospital within 24h of sustaining injuries. Intensive care unit (ICU) admission criteria were modified to accommodate patients with 40% TBSA of burns, facilities were expanded from 4 ICU beds to 18 beds, and new staff was recruited. A total of 36% patients (n=12/33, 62±13 TBSA of burns) required fluid resuscitation. The mean volume of Lactate Ringer administered in the first 24h of burns was 3.34±2.18ml/kg/%TBSA, while the mean volume of fresh frozen plasma administered was 0.60±0.63ml/kg/h. Forty-two percent patients were intubated on the day of admission, and 71% of the intubated patients had inhalation injuries that were confirmed by diagnostic bronchoscopy. The mean intubation period was 17±9 days. The incidence of pulmonary edema was 58% (n=7/12), possibly due to sub-optimal monitoring. Of these, 57% (n=4/7) patients progressed to adult respiratory distress syndrome, but were successfully treated with early strict fluid restriction, systemic antibiotics, ventilation support, and bronchial lavage. A total of 94% patients received grafting. The mean grafted area was 4432.3±3891cm2. Tube feeding was provided to patients with burns >40% TBSA. All patients tolerated gastric tube feeding without conversion to duodenal switch. On admission, all patients received prophylactic antibiotics. Septic shock was noted in 12 patients, but no mortality occurred. The mean hospital stay was 1.5 days per percent burn. CONCLUSIONS This article highlights the value of precise triage, traffic control, and effective resource allocation in treating a BMCI. Effective supporting systems for facility expansion, staff recruitment, medical supplies and clear-cut treatment strategies for severely burned patients are contributory factors leading to zero mortalities in our series, in addition to young age and minimal inhalation injuries. The need for reevaluation of the safety of cornstarch powder in festival activities is clear.

Abstract
Recognition of fluid creep has driven a large amount of the scientific investigation in the area of acute fluid resuscitation for burn patients. The role of colloids in ameliorating fluid creep is controversial, despite the fact that a fluid-sparing effect of colloids has been recognized for some time. All but one of the available prospective studies using colloids are more than a decade old, and a modern randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing crystalloids to colloids is long overdue. While urinary output continues to be the main endpoint for fluid titration, there has been a moderate amount of interest in the use of transpulmonary thermodilution to guide fluid resuscitation. The available studies have found that transpulmonary thermodilution has had an inconsistent effect on limiting fluid resuscitation volumes and improving clinical outcomes. Computerized Decision Support Systems show great promise in optimizing fluid titration and reducing fluid resuscitation volumes, and an RCT comparing Computerized Decision Support Systems with conventional titration approaches will be the important next step. Use of high-dose vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has become a popular approach to limit fluid resuscitation volumes and edema formation, but it has been investigated in only two clinical studies: one a pseudo-randomized prospective study and the other a retrospective study. Improvements in clinical outcome have not been convincingly demonstrated, and concerns persist surrounding the possibility of induction of an osmotic diuresis, leading to intravascular volume depletion. An RCT is urgently required to evaluate high-dose vitamin C as an adjunct to crystalloid resuscitation compared with the use of crystalloids alone.

Abstract
Background: The World Health Organization guidelines provide suggestions on early recognition and treatment of severe dengue (SD); however, mortality in this group can be high and is related both to disease severity and the treatment complications. Subjects and Methods: In this prospective observational study, we report our results where standard therapy (ST) was enhanced by Intensive Care Unit (ICU) supportive measures that have proven beneficial in other conditions that share similar pathophysiology of capillary leak and fluid overload. These include early albumin for crystalloid-refractory shock, proactive monitoring for symptomatic abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), application of a high-risk intubation management protocol, and other therapies. We compared outcomes in a matched retrospective cohort who received ST. Results: We found improved outcomes using these interventions in patients with the most devastating forms of dengue (ST+ group). We could demonstrate decreased positive fluid balance on days 1–3 and less symptomatic ACS that necessitated invasive percutaneous drainage (7.7% in ST+ group vs. 30% in ST group, P = 0.025). Other benefits in ST+ group included lower intubation and positive pressure ventilation requirements (18.4% in ST+ vs. 53.3% in ST, P = 0.003), lower incidence of major hemorrhage and acute kidney injury, and reduced pediatric ICU stays and mortality (2.6% in ST+ group vs. 26% in ST group, P = 0.004). Conclusion: Children with SD with refractory shock are at extremely high mortality risk. We describe the proactive application of several targeted ICU supportive interventions in addition to ST and could show that these interventions resulted in decreased resuscitation morbidity and improved outcomes in SD.

Abstract
Objective Fluid creep in patients recovering from acute burns still exists, despite the use of a more treatment conservative approach. Most of our severe burn patients develop fluid overload and body weight increase after acute fluid resuscitation. How to quickly return patients to their pre-injury body weight is an important issue. Methods Right after acute fluid resuscitation, we applied a “total fluid requirement” volume (usually 1/2 to 2/3 of initial 24 hour volume) and strictly monitored patients' hourly urine (between 0.5-1 ml/kg/hr). Patients' responses (body weight, enteric feeding amount, pulmonary condition, etc.) were also closely monitored and frequent adjustments of fluid volume administration were performed simultaneously. Results Most patients regained their pre-injury body weight within 2-3 weeks. Enteric feeding also improved markedly. No patients had severe oedema-related complications. Conclusions Stricter fluid administration after acute burn fluid resuscitation is advised for allowing patients to reduce body weight to their pre-injury weight or at least close to it. We use pre-injury body weight, enteric feeding and urine output as our guides. (Hong Kong j.emerg.med. 2014;21:222-229)

Abstract
Colloids have been used in varying capacities throughout the history of formula-based burn resuscitation. There is sound experimental evidence that demonstrates colloids' ability to improve intravascular colloid osmotic pressure, expand intravascular volume, reduce resuscitation requirements, and limit edema in unburned tissue following a major burn. Fresh frozen plasma appears to be a useful and effective immediate burn resuscitation fluid but its benefits must be weighed against its costs, and risks of viral transmission and acute lung injury. Albumin, in contrast, is less expensive and safer and has demonstrated ability to reduce resuscitation requirements and possibly limit edema-related morbidity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Resuscitation from burn shock using fresh frozen plasma (FFP) has been described. Critics of FFP resuscitation cite the development of transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) as a deterrent to its use. This study examines the occurrence of TRALI with FFP resuscitation of critically ill burned patients. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted of severely burned patients who received FFP resuscitation. Data points included age, TBSA, TBSA full thickness, presence of alternate etiologies of acute lung injury, total FFP administered, and signs and symptoms of TRALI as defined per the Canadian Blood Services Consensus Conference. RESULTS Eighty-three patients met the definition of severe burn and received FFP resuscitation. Of those, 65 met exclusion criteria. Eighteen patients were left for analysis with only one found to have signs and symptoms of TRALI. That patient suffered a 53.5% TBSA burn, received a total of 6228ml FFP, had no competing etiologies of ALI, and was diagnosed with TRALI within 6h of completing the FFP transfusion. CONCLUSION The possible occurrence of TRALI in burn patients receiving FFP resuscitation should be weighed against the reported benefits of such a resuscitation strategy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Initial therapy of severe burns in specialized burn trauma centers is a challenging task faced by the treating multi-professional and interdisciplinary team. A lack of consistent operating procedures and varying structural conditions was recently demonstrated in preliminary data of our group. These results raised the question on how specific treatment measures in acute burn care are met in the absence of standardized guidelines. MATERIAL AND METHODS A specific questionnaire containing 57 multiple-choice questions was sent to all 22 major burn centers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The survey included standards of airway management and ventilation, fluid management and circulation, body temperature monitoring and management, topical burn wound treatment and a microbiological surveillance. Additionally, the distribution of standardized course systems was covered. RESULTS 17 out of 22 questionnaires (77%) were returned completed. Regarding volume resuscitation, results showed a similar approach in estimating initial fluid while discrepancies persisted in the use of colloidal fluid and human albumin. Elective tracheostomy and the need for bronchoscopy with suspected inhalation injury were the most controversial issues revealed by the survey. Topical treatment of burned body surface also followed different principles regarding the use of synthetic epidermal skin substitutes or enzymatic wound debridement. Less discrepancy was found in basic diagnostic measures, body temperature management, estimation of the extent of burns and microbiological surveillance. CONCLUSION While many burn-related issues are clearly not questionable and managed in a similar way in most participating facilities, we were able to show that the most contentious issues in burn trauma management involve initial volume resuscitation, management of inhalation trauma and topical burn wound treatment. Further research is required to address these topics and evaluate a potential superiority of a regime in order to increase the level of evidence.

Abstract
Since 1968, when Baxter and Shires developed the Parkland formula, little progress has been made in the field of fluid therapy for burn resuscitation, despite advances in haemodynamic monitoring, establishment of the 'goal-directed therapy' concept, and the development of new colloid and crystalloid solutions. Burn patients receive a larger amount of fluids in the first hours than any other trauma patients. Initial resuscitation is based on crystalloids because of the increased capillary permeability occurring during the first 24 h. After that time, some colloids, but not all, are accepted. Since the emergence of the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee alert from the European Medicines Agency concerning hydroxyethyl starches, solutions containing this component are not recommended for burns. But the question is: what do we really know about fluid resuscitation in burns? To provide an answer, we carried out a non-systematic review to clarify how to quantify the amount of fluids needed, what the current evidence says about the available solutions, and which solution is the most appropriate for burn patients based on the available knowledge.

Abstract
Fluid resuscitation of burn patients is commonly initiated using modified Brooke or Parkland formula. The fluid infusion rate is titrated up or down hourly to maintain adequate urine output and other endpoints. Over-resuscitation leads to morbid complications. Adherence to paper-based protocols, flow sheets, and clinical practice guidelines is associated with decreased fluid resuscitation volumes and complications. Computerized tools assist providers. Although completely autonomous closed-loop control of resuscitation has been demonstrated in animal models of burn shock, the major advantages of open-loop and decision-support systems are identifying trends, enhancing situational awareness, and encouraging burn team communication.

Abstract
Failed burn resuscitation can occur at various points. Early failed resuscitation will be largely caused by prehospital factors. During resuscitation, failure will present as a patient's nonresponse to adjunctive therapy. Late failure will occur in the setting of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Burn care providers must be vigilant during the resuscitation to identify a threatened resuscitation so that adjunctive therapies or rescue maneuvers can be used to convert to a successful resuscitation. However, when a patient's resuscitative course becomes unsalvageable, transition to comfort care should be taken to avoid prolongation of suffering.

Abstract
Fluid creep is the term applied to a burn resuscitation, which requires more fluid than predicted by standard formulas. Fluid creep is common today and is linked to several serious edema-related complications. Increased fluid requirements may accompany the appropriate resuscitation of massive injuries but dangerous fluid creep is also caused by overly permissive fluid infusion and the lack of colloid supplementation. Several strategies for recognizing and treating fluid creep are presented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare early versus delayed albumin resuscitation in children with burns in terms of clinical outcome and response. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. SETTING Burn center at a tertiary care teaching hospital. PATIENTS Forty-six children aged 1-12 years with burns greater than 15-45% total body surface area admitted within 12 hours of burn injury. INTERVENTIONS Fluid resuscitation was based on the Parkland formula (3 mL/kg/% total body surface area), adjusted according to urine output. Patients received 5% albumin solution between 8 and 12 hours post burn in the intervention group (n = 23) and 24 hours post burn in the control group (n = 23). Both groups were assessed for reduction in crystalloid fluid infusion during resuscitation, development of fluid creep, and length of hospital stay. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS There was no difference between groups regarding age, weight, sex, % total body surface area, cause of burn, or severity scores. The median crystalloid fluid volume required during the first 3 days post burn was lower in the intervention than in the control group (2.04 vs 3.05 mL/kg/% total body surface area; p = 0.025 on day 1; 1.2 vs 1.71 mL/kg/% total body surface area; p = 0.002 on day 2; and 0.82 vs 1.3 mL/kg/% total body surface area; p = 0.002 on day 3). The median urine output showed no difference between intervention and control groups (2.1 vs 2.0 mL/kg/hr; p = 0.152 on day 1; 2.58 vs 2.54 mL/kg/hr; p = 0.482 on day 2; and 2.9 vs 3.0 mL/kg/hr; p = 0.093 on day 3). Fluid creep was observed in 13 controls (56.5%) and in one patient (4.3%) in the intervention group. The median length of hospital stay was 18 days (range, 15-21 d) for controls and 14 days (range, 10-17 d) in the intervention group (p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Early albumin infusion in children with burns greater than 15-45% total body surface area reduced the need for crystalloid fluid infusion during resuscitation. Significantly fewer cases of fluid creep and shorter hospital stay were also observed in this group of patients.

Abstract
Introduction Globally, many burns units moved away from colloid resuscitation in response to the Cochrane review (1998). Recent literature has introduced the concept of fluid creep: patients receiving volumes far in excess of the upper limit of the Parkland formula. The Cochrane review has been widely criticised, however, and we continued to use 4.5% human albumin solution after 8 h of crystalloid as a hybrid of Parkland and Muir & Barclay's regime. Methods Adult patients ⩾15% TBSA were identified from data prospectively entered into our database over a 5-year period (2003-2008). Medical notes and intensive care charts were reviewed comparing volumes of fluids received with requirement estimates. Adverse events were also documented. Results A total of 72 cases with 34 sets of intensive care charts were analysed. Mean TBSA was 35.2% (range, 15-95%). A total of 75% survived; 3% were haemofiltered. Forty-one percent of patients were resuscitated using the Parkland formula alone, while 59% switched at 8 h post burn to the Muir and Barclay formula (Hybrid group). There was a significantly greater TBSA in the Hybrid group, but they received significantly less fluid volumes than the Parkland group (P = 0.0363; the Hybrid group received 1.36 times calculated need vs. 1.62 in the Parkland group). Conclusion Our patients still demonstrate fluid creep, but to a lesser extent than previously reported. Fluid creep has been mitigated but not eliminated through this strategy.

Abstract
Currently, the aim of the resuscitation of burn patients is to maintain end-organ perfusion with fluid intake as minimal as possible. To avoid excess intake, we can improve the estimation using computer methods. Parkland and Brooke are the commonly used formulas, and recently, a new, an easy formula is been used, i.e. the 'Rule of TEN'. Fluid resuscitation should be titrated to maintain the urine output of approximately 30-35 mL/h for an average-sized adult. The most commonly used fluids are crystalloid, but the phenomenon of creep flow has renewed interest in albumin. In severely burn patients, monitoring with transpulmonary thermodilution together with lactate, ScvO2 and intraabdominal pressures is a good option. Nurse-driven protocols or computer-based resuscitation algorithms reduce the dependence on clinical decision making and decrease fluid resuscitation intake. High-dose vitamin C, propranolol, the avoidance of excessive use of morphine and mechanical ventilation are other useful resources.
