Activity Description

Severe burns cause not only significant injury at the local burn site but also a systemic response throughout the body. Inflammatory and vasoactive mediators such as histamines, prostaglandins, and cytokines are released, causing a systemic capillary leak, intravascular fluid loss, and large fluid shifts. These responses occur mostly over the first 24 hours, peaking around 6 to 8 hours after injury. This response, along with decreased cardiac output and increased vascular resistance, can lead to marked hypovolemia and hypoperfusion, called burn shock. This can be managed with aggressive fluid resuscitation and close monitoring for adequate, but not excessive, IV fluids. This activity reviews the importance of burn fluid resuscitation and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in managing burn patients.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:
