Abstract
Adequate fluid therapy is crucial for resuscitation after major burns. To adapt this to individual patient demands, standard is adjustment of volume to laboratory parameters and values of enhanced hemodynamic monitoring. To implement calibrated parameters, patients must have reached the intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of this study was, to evaluate the use of an auto-calibrated enhanced hemodynamic monitoring device to improve fluid management before admission to ICU. We used PulsioflexProAqt® (Getinge) during initial treatment and burn shock resuscitation. Analysis was performed regarding time of measurement, volume management, organ dysfunction, and mortality. We conducted a monocentre, prospective cohort study of 20 severely burned patients, >20% total body surface area (TBSA), receiving monitoring immediately after admission. We compared to 57 patients, matched in terms of TBSA, age, sex, and existence of inhalation injury out of a retrospective control group, who received standard care. Hemodynamic measurement with autocalibrated monitoring started significantly earlier: 3.75(2.67-6.0) hours (h) after trauma in the study group versus 13.6(8.1-17.5) h in the control group (P < .001). Study group received less fluid after 6 h: 1.7(1.2-2.2) versus 2.3(1.6-2.8) ml/TBSA%/kg, P = .043 and 12 h: 3.0(2.5-4.0) versus 4.2(3.1-5.0) ml/TBSA%/kg, P = .047. Dosage of norepinephrine was higher after 18 h in the study group: 0.20(0.12-0.3) versus 0.08(0.02-0.18) µg/kg/min, P = .014. The study group showed no adult respiratory distress syndrome versus 21% in the control group, P = .031. There was no difference in other organ failures, organ replacement therapy, and mortality. The use of auto-calibrated enhanced hemodynamic monitoring is a fast and feasible way to guide early fluid therapy after burn trauma. It reduces the time to reach information about patient's volume capacity. Management of fluid application changed to a more restrictive fluid use in the early period of burn shock and led to a reduction of pulmonary complications.

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.

Abstract
Acute burn injury creates a complex and multifactorial local response which may have systemic sequelae such as hypovolemia, hypothermia, cardiovascular collapse, hypercoagulability, and multi-system organ failure. Understanding the underlying pathophysiology of burn shock, the initial burn triage and assessment, calculation of fluid requirements, and the means of tailoring ongoing interventions to optimize resuscitation are critical for overcoming the wide spectrum of derangements which this condition creates. As a result, this article discusses the various key points in order to garner a greater understanding of these nuances and the optimal pathway to take when tackling these challenging issues.

Abstract
Burn injuries represent a special type of injury that requires special expertise. Both in adequate wound treatment and in intensive medical care, there are various special features that must be considered and due to which treatment by experienced medical personnel is necessary. In the clinical, but also in the preclinical course, the most important points in the treatment of the burn injury should be known to be able to guarantee adequate treatment. In this context, in addition to the knowledge of the different degrees of burns, the estimation of the burned body surface area (VKOF) is essential. Intensive medical treatment as well as surgical therapy of deep burn wounds should then be performed in a burn center. The article provides an overview of the classifications of burn injuries, the management of wound care, the various therapeutic options, both conservative and surgical, and the special features of burn disease.

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
Periodically, the American Burn Association (ABA) has convened a State of the Science meeting on various topics representing multiple disciplines within burn care and research. In 2021 at the request of the ABA President, meeting development was guided by the ABA's Burn Science Advisory Panel (BSAP) and a subgroup of meeting chairs. The goal of the meeting was to produce both an evaluation of the current literature and ongoing studies, and to produce a research agenda and/or define subject matter-relevant next steps to advance the field(s). Members of the BSAP defined the topics to be addressed and subsequently solicited for nominations of expert speakers and topic leaders from the ABA's Research Committee. Current background literature for each topic was compiled by the meeting chairs and the library then enhanced by the invited topic and breakout discussion leaders. The meeting was held in New Orleans, LA on November 2nd and 3rd and was formatted to allow for 12 different topics, each with two subtopics, to be addressed. Topic leaders provided a brief overview of each topic to approximately 100 attendees, followed by expert-lead breakout sessions for each topic that allowed for focused discussion among subject matter experts and interested participants. The breakout and topic group leaders worked with the participants to determine research needs and associated next steps including white papers, reviews and in some cases collaborative grant proposals. Here, summaries from each topic area will be presented to highlight the main foci of discussion and associated conclusions.

Abstract
While urinary output (UOP) remains the primary endpoint for titration of intravenous fluid resuscitation, it is an insufficient indicator of fluid responsiveness. Although advanced hemodynamic monitoring (including arterial pulse wave analysis (PWA)) is of recent interest, the validity of PWA-derived indices in burn resuscitation extremes has not been established. The goal of this paper is to test the hypothesis that PWA-derived cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) indices as well as pulse pressure variation (PPV) and systolic pressure variation (SPV) can play a complementary role to UOP in burn resuscitation. Swine were instrumented with a Swan-Ganz catheter for reference CO and underwent a 40% total body surface area burns with varying resuscitation paradigms, and were monitored for 24 hours in an ICU setting under mechanical ventilation. The longitudinal changes in PWA-derived indices were investigated, and resuscitation adequacy was compared as determined by UOP versus PWA indices. The results indicated that PWA-derived indices exhibited trends consistent with reference CO and SV measurements: CO and SV indices were proportional to reference CO and SV, respectively (CO: post-calibration limits of agreement (LoA)=+/-24.7 [ml/min/kg], SV: post-calibration LoA=+/-0.30 [ml/kg]) while PPV and SPV were inversely proportional to reference SV (PPV: post-calibration LoA=+/-0.32 [ml/kg], SPV: post-calibration LoA=+/-0.31 [ml/kg]). The results also indicated that PWA-derived indices exhibited notable discrepancies from UOP in determining adequate burn resuscitation. Hence, it was concluded that the PWA-derived indices may have complementary value to UOP in assessing and guiding burn resuscitation.

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
BACKGROUND The decrease in effective blood volume after burns is closely related to abnormal heart function. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether serum human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), an indicator of early renal injury, contributes to increased risk of cardiac complications in patients with burns. METHODS Within 24 hours after hospital admission, clinical condition assessment and biochemical testing in patients with burns were performed. Multivariate analysis was performed by evaluating the relationship between serum HE4 levels and risk of cardiac complications (cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmia, and myocardial infarction) during hospitalization. RESULTS The number (percentage) of cardiac complications in all included patients with burns was 80 (15.6%). The results of sensitivity analysis suggest that elevated serum HE4 levels were related to higher risk of cardiac complications in patients with sepsis (OR = 2.1; 95% CI, 1.19-3.17; P <.001) and in patients without sepsis (OR = 2.29; 95% CI, 1.33-4.71l; P = .005), respectively, after adjustments for clinical confounding factors were made. Sepsis did not have a modification effect on the association between serum and cardiac complications among these patients. Also, the results of ROC curve analysis showed that serum HE4 levels have good predictive value for predicting cardiac complications in patients with burns (AUC = 0.708; 95% CI, 0.61-0.81; P <.001). CONCLUSIONS In the current study, we identified that elevated HE4 levels contributed to increased risk of cardiac complications in the hospital in patients with burns. This novel finding suggests that burn patients with serum HE4 may provide the opportunity to predict cardiac complications before hospital admission.

Abstract
Shock is a sequelae in trauma and burn patients that substantially increases the risk for morbidity and mortality. The use of resuscitation endpoints allows for improved management of these patients, with the potential to prevent further morbidity/mortality. We conducted a review of the current literature on the efficacy of hemodynamic, metabolic, and regional resuscitation endpoints for use in trauma and burn patients. Hemodynamic endpoints included mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), urinary output (UO), compensatory reserve index (CRI), intrathoracic blood volume, and stroke volume variation (SVV). Metabolic endpoints measure cellular responses to decreased oxygen delivery and include serum lactic acid (LA), base deficit (BD), bicarbonate, anion gap, apparent strong ion difference, and serum pH. Mean arterial pressure, HR, UO, and LA are the most established markers of trauma and burn resuscitation. The evidence suggests LA is a superior metabolic endpoint marker. Newer resuscitation endpoint technologies such as point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS), thromboelastography (TEG), and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) may improve patient outcomes; however, additional research is needed to establish the efficacy in trauma and burn patients. The endpoints discussed have situational strengths and weaknesses and no single universal resuscitation endpoint has yet emerged. This review may increase knowledge and aid in guideline development. We recommend clinicians continue to integrate multiple endpoints with emphasis on MAP, HR, UO, LA, and BD. Future investigation should aim to standardize endpoints for each clinical presentation. The search for universal and novel resuscitation parameters in trauma and burns should also continue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large-volume fluid resuscitation remains irreplaceable in the early-stage management of severe burns. We aimed to explore the relationship between fluid volume and other indicators. METHOD Data of severe burn patients with successful resuscitation in the early stage was collected. Correlation and linear regression analyses were performed. Multiple linear regression models, related goodness-of-fit assessment (adjusted R-square and Akaike Information Criterion), scatter plots and paired t-test for two models, and a likelihood ratio test were performed. RESULTS 96 patients were included. The median of total burn area (TBA) was 70%TBSA, with full thickness burn area (FTBA)/TBA of 0.4, a resuscitation volume of 1.93 mL/kg/%TBSA. Among volume-correlated indicators, two linear regression models were established (Model 1: TBA × weight and tracheotomy; and Model 2: FTBA × weight, partial thickness burn area (PTBA) × weight, and tracheotomy). For these models, close values of Akaike Information Criterion, adjusted R-squares, outliers of the prediction range, and the result of paired t-test, all suggest similarity between two models estimations, while the likelihood ratio test for coefficients of FTBA × weight and PTBA × weight showed a statistical difference. CONCLUSION inhalational injury and decompression surgery only correlated with volume, while Tracheotomy, TBA × weight, FTBA × weight, and PTBA × weight correlated with and were accepted in linear models of volume. Although FTBA and PTBA differed statistically, there may be no need to distinguish them when estimating the resuscitation volume requirements in this patient set. Further study about different depths fluid should be conducted.

Abstract
Patients who experience severe burn injuries face a massive inflammatory response resulting in hemodynamic and cardiovascular complications. Even after immediate and appropriate resuscitation, removal of burn eschar and covering of open areas, burn patients remain at high risk for serious morbidity and mortality. As a result of the massive fluid shifts following the initial injury, along with large volume fluid resuscitation, the cardiovascular system is critically affected. Further, increased inflammation, catecholamine surge, and hypermetabolic syndrome impact cardiac dysfunction, which worsens outcomes of burn patients. This review aimed to summarize the current knowledge about the effect of burns on the cardiovascular system.A comprehensive search of the PubMed and Embase databases and manual review of articles involving effects of burns on the cardiovascular system was conducted.Many burn units use multimodal monitors (e.g., transpulmonary thermodilution) to assess hemodynamics and optimize cardiovascular function. Echocardiography is often used for additional evaluations of hemodynamically unstable patients to assess systolic and diastolic function. Due to its noninvasive character, echocardiography can be repeated easily, which allows us to follow patients longitudinally.The use of anabolic and anticatabolic agents has been shown to be beneficial for short- and long-term outcomes of burn survivors. Administration of propranolol (non-selective β-receptor antagonist) or oxandrolone (synthetic testosterone) for up to 12 months post-burn counteracts hypermetabolism during hospital stay and improves cardiac function.A comprehensive understanding of how burns lead to cardiac dysfunction and new therapeutic options could contribute to better outcomes in this patient population.

Abstract
Health and logistical needs in emergencies have been well recognised. The last 7 years has witnessed improved professionalisation and standardisation of care for disaster affected communities - led in part by the World Health Organisation Emergency Medical Team (EMT) initiative. Mass casualty incidents (MCIs) resulting in burn injuries present unique challenges. Burn management benefits from specialist skills, expert knowledge, and timely availability of specialist resources. With burn MCIs occurring globally, and wide variance in existing burn care capacity, the need to strengthen burn care capability is evident. Although some high-income countries have well-established disaster management plans, including burn specific plans, many do not - the majority of countries where burn mass casualty events occur are without such established plans. Developing globally relevant recommendations is a first step in addressing this deficit and increasing preparedness to deal with such disasters. Global burn experts were invited to a succession of Technical Working Group on burns (TWGB) meetings to: 1) review literature on burn care in MCIs; and 2) define and agree on recommendations for burn care in MCIs. The resulting 22 recommendations provide a framework to guide national and international specialist burn teams and health facilities to support delivery of safe care and improved outcomes to burn patients in MCIs.

A simplified fluid resuscitation formula for burns in mass casualty scenarios: Analysis of the consensus recommendation from the WHO Emergency Medical Teams Technical Working Group on Burns. Burns 2021; 47:1730-1738. [PMID: 33707086 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2021.02.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Revised: 01/18/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Burn fluid resuscitation guidelines have not specifically addressed mass casualty with resource limited situations, except for oral rehydration for burns below 40% total body surface area (TBSA). The World Health Organization Technical Working Group on Burns (TWGB) recommends an initial fluid rate of 100 mL/kg/24 h, either orally or intravenously, beyond 20% TBSA burned. We aimed to compare this formula with current guidelines. METHODS The TWGB formula was numerically compared with 2-4 mL/kg/%TBSA for adults and the Galveston formula for children. RESULTS In adults, the TWGB formula estimated fluid volumes within the range of current guidelines for burns between 25 and 50% TBSA, and a maximal 20 mL/kg/24 h difference in the 20-25% and the 50-60% TBSA ranges. In children, estimated resuscitation volumes between 20 and 60% TBSA approximated estimations by the Galveston formula, but only partially compensated for maintenance fluids. Beyond 60% TBSA, the TWGB formula underestimated fluid to be given in all age groups. CONCLUSION The TWGB formula for mass burn casualties may enable appropriate fluid resuscitation for most salvageable burned patients in disasters. This simple formula is easy to implement. It should simplify patient management including transfers, reduce the risk of early complications, and thereby optimize disaster response, provided that tailored resuscitation is given whenever specialized care becomes available.

Abstract
On June 17 to 18, 2019, the American Burn Association, in conjunction with Underwriters Laboratories, convened a group of experts on burn resuscitation in Washington, DC. The goal of the meeting was to identify and discuss novel research and strategies to optimize the process of burn resuscitation. Patients who sustain a large thermal injury (involving >20% of the total body surface area [TBSA]) face a sequence of challenges, beginning with burn shock. Over the last century, research has helped elucidate much of the underlying pathophysiology of burn shock, which places multiple organ systems at risk of damage or dysfunction. These studies advanced the understanding of the need for fluids for resuscitation. The resultant practice of judicious and timely infusion of crystalloids has improved mortality after major thermal injury. However, much remains unclear about how to further improve and customize resuscitation practice to limit the morbidities associated with edema and volume overload. Herein, we review the history and pathophysiology of shock following thermal injury, and propose some of the priorities for resuscitation research. Recommendations include: studying the utility of alternative endpoints to resuscitation, reexamining plasma as a primary or adjunctive resuscitation fluid, and applying information about inflammation and endotheliopathy to target the underlying causes of burn shock. Undoubtedly, these future research efforts will require a concerted effort from the burn and research communities.

Abstract
Background The aim of the study was to identify the clinical features and the factors associated with burn induced mortality among young adults after exposure to indoor explosion and fire. Methods This is an observational study which included burn patients who were admitted to eighteen ICUs after a fire disaster. Epidemiologic and clinical characteristics, as well as therapy were recorded. The primary outcome was 90-day mortality. The mortality-related factors were also analyzed. Results There were 167 burn patients enrolled in the study, the median age was 38 years, 62 (37.1%) patients died within 90 days. Seventy-one percent of patients had a burn size ≥90% TBSA, and 73.7% of patients had a full-thickness burn area above 50% TBSA. The survivors had lower Baux scores, and received earlier escharectomy and autologous skin grafts. The 50% mortality rates (LA50s) for burn size and full-thickness burn area were 95.8% and 88.6% TBSA, respectively. The multivariate analysis showed that full-thickness burn area over 50% TBSA and residual burned surface area (RBSA)/TBSA at 28 days were strong predictors of mortality among burn patients (odds ratio 2.55; 95% CI, 1.01 to 6.44, P=0.047; odds ratio 1.07; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.09, P<0.001). The ROC curve-based cut-off values of RBSA/TBSA at 28 days for predicting 90-day mortality were 62.5%. Conclusions Burn size and full-thickness burn area were the main risk factors for poor outcome in patients with extensive burns. Earlier escharectomy and autologous skin grafts may improve outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Combined burn and traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment priorities may not align due to opposing fluid resuscitation paradigms used in treating burns and TBI. We developed a porcine model of combined thermal injury/TBI and compared an "aggressive" fluid resuscitation strategy using the Parkland formula and a "restrictive" resuscitation strategy using the modified Brooke formula. METHODS Twenty-eight swine were deeply anesthetized and received a 40% total body surface area full-thickness burn injury and TBI. Swine were then randomized to receive restrictive or aggressive resuscitation for 8 h after which time animals were euthanized and necropsy was performed. Volume of brain injury was assessed after analyzing segmental slices of brain tissue. RESULTS There were no differences between the restrictive and aggressive resuscitation groups in blood pressure, heart rate, central venous pressure, intra-cranial pressure (ICP), or serum lactate levels after 8 h of resuscitation. Urine output was higher in the aggressive resuscitation group. The restrictive group had a significantly higher serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) compared with baseline and compared with the aggressive group. There was no significant difference in size of brain injury between groups. CONCLUSIONS Both restrictive and aggressive resuscitation demonstrated adequate resuscitation at 8 h postinjury. Increased serum BUN in the restrictive group may be an indicator of early acute kidney injury, despite adequate urine output. Resuscitation strategy did not appear to affect ICP or the size of brain injury.

Abstract
Burn-injured patients provide unique challenges to those providing anaesthesia and pain management. This review aims to update both the regular burn anaesthetist and the anaesthetist only occasionally involved with burn patients in emergency settings. It addresses some aspects of care that are perhaps contentious in terms of airway management, fluid resuscitation, transfusion practices and pharmacology. Recognition of pain management failures and the lack of mechanism-specific analgesics are discussed along with the opioid crisis as it relates to burns and nonpharmacological methods in the management of distressed patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal fluid resuscitation in children with major burns is crucial to prevent or minimise burn shock and prevent complications of over-resuscitation. OBJECTIVES To identify studies using endpoints to guide fluid resuscitation in children with burns, review the range of reported endpoint targets and assess whether there is evidence that targeted endpoints impact on outcome. DESIGN Systematic review. METHODS Medline, Embase, Cinahl and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched with no restrictions on study design or date. Search terms combined burns, fluid resuscitation, endpoints, goal-directed therapy and related synonyms. Studies reporting primary data regarding children with burns (<16 years) and targeting fluid resuscitation endpoints were included. Data were extracted using a proforma and the results were narratively reviewed. RESULTS Following screening of 777 unique references, 7 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Four studies were exclusively paediatric. Six studies used urine output (UO) as the primary endpoint. Of these, one set a minimum UO threshold, while the remainder targeted a range from 0.5-1.0 mL/kg/hour to 2-3 mL/kg/hour. No studies compared different UO targets. Heterogeneous study protocols and outcomes precluded comparison between the UO targets. One study targeted invasive haemodynamic variables, but this did not significantly affect patient outcome. CONCLUSIONS Few studies have researched resuscitation endpoints for children with burns. Those that have done so have investigated heterogeneous endpoints and endpoint targets. There is a need for future randomised controlled trials to identify optimal endpoints with which to target fluid resuscitation in children with burns.

Abstract
The objective of this article is to investigate adherence to reporting standards and methodological quality in systematic reviews on burns care published in peer-reviewed journals to determine their utility for guiding evidence-based burns care. PubMed, Embase, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Database of Systematic Reviews and Implementation Reports were searched from 2009. Any systematic review on any question on therapeutic interventions in burns care was eligible for inclusion. Critical appraisal and data extraction were performed using the Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) tool and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) checklist by two independent reviewers. The overall quality of the 44 included burns care systematic reviews was low, with an average methodological quality of 55% and an average compliance with reporting guidelines of 70%. Correlation analysis showed that adherence to reporting guidelines has been relatively stable, but methodological quality has deteriorated (r = -.32, P < .05). Cochrane reviews had lower citation rates than reviews published in other journals, whereas reviews that included meta-analyses had more citations. Quality did not have a significant effect on citation rate. Health professionals working in burns should be able to expect that systematic reviews published in their field are of a high standard. Unfortunately, this is not the case. To address this problem, established guidelines on the conduct and reporting of systematic reviews should be adhered to by researchers and editors.

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
The methodological and reporting quality of burn-specific systematic reviews has not been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the methodological quality of systematic reviews in burn care management. Computerised searches were performed in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE and The Cochrane Library through to February 2016 for systematic reviews relevant to burn care using medical subject and free-text terms such as 'burn', 'systematic review' or 'meta-analysis'. Additional studies were identified by hand-searching five discipline-specific journals. Two authors independently screened papers, extracted and evaluated methodological quality using the 11-item A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) tool and reporting quality using the 27-item Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Characteristics of systematic reviews associated with methodological and reporting quality were identified. Descriptive statistics and linear regression identified features associated with improved methodological quality. A total of 60 systematic reviews met the inclusion criteria. Six of the 11 AMSTAR items reporting on 'a priori' design, duplicate study selection, grey literature, included/excluded studies, publication bias and conflict of interest were reported in less than 50% of the systematic reviews. Of the 27 items listed for PRISMA, 13 items reporting on introduction, methods, results and the discussion were addressed in less than 50% of systematic reviews. Multivariable analyses showed that systematic reviews associated with higher methodological or reporting quality incorporated a meta-analysis (AMSTAR regression coefficient 2.1; 95% CI: 1.1, 3.1; PRISMA regression coefficient 6·3; 95% CI: 3·8, 8·7) were published in the Cochrane library (AMSTAR regression coefficient 2·9; 95% CI: 1·6, 4·2; PRISMA regression coefficient 6·1; 95% CI: 3·1, 9·2) and included a randomised control trial (AMSTAR regression coefficient 1·4; 95%CI: 0·4, 2·4; PRISMA regression coefficient 3·4; 95% CI: 0·9, 5·8). The methodological and reporting quality of systematic reviews in burn care requires further improvement with stricter adherence by authors to the PRISMA checklist and AMSTAR tool.

Abstract
Since the 1940s, the resuscitation of burn patients has evolved with dramatic improvements in mortality. The most significant achievement remains the creation and adoption of formulae to calculate estimated fluid requirements to guide resuscitation. Modalities to attenuate the hypermetabolic phase of injury include pharmacologic agents, early enteral nutrition, and the aggressive approach of early excision of large injuries. Recent investigations into the genomic response to severe burns and the application of computer-based decision support tools will likely guide future resuscitation, with the goal of further reducing mortality and morbidity, and improving functional and quality of life outcomes.

Abstract
LEARNING OBJECTIVES After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Explain the epidemiology of severe burn injury in the context of socioeconomic status, gender, age, and burn cause. 2. Describe challenges with burn depth evaluation and novel methods of adjunctive assessment. 3. Summarize the survival and functional outcomes of severe burn injury. 4. State strategies of fluid resuscitation, endpoints to guide fluid titration, and sequelae of overresuscitation. 5. Recognize preventative measures of sepsis. 6. Explain intraoperative strategies to improve patient outcomes, including hemostasis, restrictive transfusion, temperature regulation, skin substitutes, and Meek skin grafting. 7. Translate updates in the pathophysiology of hypertrophic scarring into novel methods of clinical management. 8. Discuss the potential role of free tissue transfer in primary and secondary burn reconstruction. SUMMARY Management of burn-injured patients is a challenging and unique field for plastic surgeons. Significant advances over the past decade have occurred in resuscitation, burn wound management, sepsis, and reconstruction that have improved outcomes and quality of life after thermal injury. However, as patients with larger burns are resuscitated, an increased risk of nosocomial infections, sepsis, compartment syndromes, and venous thromboembolic phenomena have required adjustments in care to maintain quality of life after injury. This article outlines a number of recent developments in burn care that illustrate the evolution of the field to assist plastic surgeons involved in burn care.

Abstract
This article reviews the pathophysiology of large burn injury and the extreme fluid shifts that occur in the hours and days after this event. The authors focus on acute fluid management, monitoring of hemodynamic status, and end points of resuscitation. Understanding the need and causes for fluid resuscitation after burn injury helps the clinician develop an effective plan to balance the competing goals of normalized tissue perfusion and limited tissue edema. Thoughtful, individualized treatment is the best answer and the most effective compromise.

Abstract
Burn shock is characterized by profound hemodynamic alterations mainly associated with rapid loss of intravascular volume related to severe capillary leak. Thus, fluid resuscitation conventionally based on macrocirculatory targets is considered as a corner stone of initial management of patients with burns. Nonetheless, traditional markers such as blood pressure, urinary output, and cardiac output are helpful but do not sufficiently reflect the adequacy of perfusion and oxygenation at the microcirculatory level. Microcirculatory alterations have been identified in patients with severe burns even when macrocirculatory variables are within therapeutic goals. In this review, we discuss the pathophysiology of the microvascular alterations in burn shock, its coherence with macrocirculatory physiologic variables, and potential future implications for the treatment of burn shock.

Abstract
Background Impact of early systemic hemodynamic alterations and fluid resuscitation on outcome in the modern burn care remains controversial. We investigate the association between acute-phase systemic hemodynamics, timing of fluid resuscitation and outcome in critically ill burn patients. Methods Retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted in a university hospital. Forty critically ill burn patients with total body surface area (TBSA) burn-injured >20 % with invasive blood pressure and cardiac output monitoring (transpulmonary thermodilution technique) within 8 h from trauma were included. We retrospectively examined hemodynamic variables during the first 24 h following admission, and their association with 90-day mortality. Results The median (interquartile range 25th–75th percentile) TBSA, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II) and Abbreviated Burn Severity Index of the study population were 41 (29–56), 31 (23–50) and 9 (7–11) %, respectively. 90-Day mortality was 42 %. There was no statistical difference between the median pre-hospital and 24-h administered fluid volume in survivors and non-survivors. On admission, stroke volume (SV), cardiac index (CI), oxygen delivery index and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were significantly lower in patients who died despite similar fluid resuscitation volume. ROC curves comparing the ability of initial SV, CI, MAP and lactate to discriminate 90-day mortality gave areas under curves of, respectively, 0.89 (CI 0.77–1), 0.77 (CI 0.58–0.95), 0.73 (CI 0.53–0.93) and 0.78 (CI 0.63–0.92); (p value <0.05 for all). In multivariate analysis, SAPS II and initial SV were independently associated with 90-day mortality (best cutoff value for SV was 27 mL, sensitivity 92 %, specificity 69 %). During 24 h, no interaction was found between time and outcome regarding macrocirculatory parameters changes. Hemodynamic parameters improved during the first 24-h resuscitation in all patients but patients who died had lower SV and CI on admission, which remained through the first 24 h. Conclusion Low initial SV and CI were associated with poor outcome in critically ill burn patients. Very early hemodynamic monitoring may in help detecting under-resuscitated patients. Future prospective interventional studies should explore the impact of early goal-directed therapy in these specific patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to assess the quality of readily available evidence regarding critical care aspects of the management of patients with severe burn injuries. METHOD PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Databases and bibliographies of included studies and burns review articles were searched from inception of databases to end of February 2015. We included systematic reviews, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies with concurrent controls on the topics of (a) fluid resuscitation (b) analgesia (c) haemodynamic monitoring and targets (d) ventilation (e) blood transfusion. The quality of the studies was assessed using validated tools. RESULTS Fifty six studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Twenty three on fluid resuscitation, 22 on analgesia, nine on haemodynamic monitoring and two on ventilation. No studies were found on blood transfusion practice. There were ten systematic reviews, 38 RCTs and eight cohort studies with concurrent controls. The majority of studies were single centre trials with small numbers of patients, surrogate outcomes and high risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS There is very little high quality evidence to guide clinical practice in early management of the severely burnt patient. Eleven of 56 studies found in our search of critical care topics were of good methodological quality with low risk of bias.

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.

Abstract
Precision in fluid management for shock could lead to better clinical outcomes. We evaluated the association of protocol-based fluid management with intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital mortality. We performed an observational study of mechanically ventilated patients admitted directly from our emergency department to the ICU from August 2011 to December 2013, who had circulatory shock in the first 24 h of ICU stay (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg at ICU admission or lactate >4 mmol/L). Patients with onset of shock beyond 24 h of ICU stay were excluded. Protocol-based fluid management required close physician-nurse cooperation and computerized documentation, checking for fluid response (≥10% arterial pulse pressure or stroke volume increase after two consecutive 250-mL crystalloid boluses), and fluid loading with repeated 500-mL boluses until fluid response became negative. Six hundred twelve mechanically ventilated patients with shock (mean [±SD] age, 63.0 years [16.5]; 252 or 41.2% females; mean Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, 30.2 [8.8]) were studied. The fluid management protocol was used 455 times for 242 patients (39.5% of 612 patients) within the first 24 h of ICU stay, with 244 (53.6% of 455) positive responses. Adjusted for age, sex, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, comorbidity, and admission year, protocol use was associated with reduced ICU mortality (odds ratio, 0.60; 95% confidence interval, 0.39-0.94; P = 0.025) but not hospital mortality (odds ratio, 0.82; 95% confidence interval, 0.54-1.23; P = 0.369). Among mechanically ventilated patients with shock within the first 24 h of ICU stay, about half had positive fluid responses. Adherence to protocol-based fluid management was associated with improved ICU survival.

Abstract
Biomarker science brings great promise to clinical medicine. This is especially true in the era of technology miniaturization, rapid dissemination of knowledge, and point-of-care (POC) implementation of novel diagnostics. Despite this tremendous progress, the journey from a candidate biomarker to a scientifically validated biomarker continues to be an arduous one. In addition to substantial financial resources, biomarker research requires considerable expertise and a multidisciplinary approach. Investigational designs must also be taken into account, with the randomized controlled trial remaining the “gold standard”. The authors present a condensed overview of biomarker science and associated investigational methods, followed by specific examples from clinical areas where biomarker development and/or implementation resulted in tangible enhancements in patient care. This manuscript also serves as a call to arms for the establishment of a truly global, well-coordinated infrastructure dedicated to biomarker research and development, with focus on delivery of the latest discoveries directly to the patient via point-of-care technology.
