  25. COURSE IN THE WARDS

  26. Admitted at BURN Unit…1 hr & 30 min post injury • Monitor VS Q1, UO Q1, TQ4 (UO>50 cc/hr) • IVF: load PLR 2 L, then regulate at 600 cc/hr for 6 hrs • If UO>50 cc/hr for 3 hrs, decrease IVF to 500 cc/hr • Decrease IVF by 50 cc/hr if UO is >50cc/hr until 100 cc/hr is reached

  27. Medications • Tramadol 50 mg/tab 1 tab q8 • MV with zinc, 1 cap OD • VitC, 500 mg/cap; 2 caps OD

  33. DISCUSSION

  34. PGH STATISTICS

  35. BURN UNIT 2009

  36. 4TH QUARTER 2009 (OCT-DEC)

  37. US DATA • Deaths from fires and burns are the 5th most common cause of unintentional injury deaths in the United States (CDC 2006) and the 3rd leading cause of fatal home injury (Runyan 2004). • In 2008, someone died in a fire about every 158 minutes, and someone was injured every 31 minutes (Karter 2009). • Four out of five U.S. fire deaths in 2008 occurred in homes (Karter 2009).

  38. Selected Statistics on Admissions to Burn Centers, 1995-2005 Survival Rate:  94.4%Total Body Surface Area Burned (TBSA):  Over one-third of admissions (38%) exceeded 10% TBSA, and 10% exceeded 30% TBSA. Most included severe burns of such vital body areas as the face, hands and feet. Gender:  70% male, 30% female Ethnicity:  62% Caucasian, 18% African-American, 12% Hispanic, 8% Other Burn Cause:  46% fire/flame, 32% scald, 8% hot object contact, 4% electrical, 3% chemical, 6% other Place of Occurrence:  43% home, 17% street/highway, 8% occupational, 32% other

  39. US DATA Groups at increased risk of fire-related injuries and deaths include: • Children 4 and under (CDC 1998; Flynn 2008); • Older Adults ages 65 and older (CDC 1998; Flynn 2008); • African Americans and Native Americans (CDC 1998; Flynn 2008); • The poorest Americans (Istre 2001; Flynn 2008); • Persons living in rural areas (Ahrens 2003; Flynn 2008); • Persons living in manufactured homes or substandard housing (Runyan 1992; Parker 1993).

  40. MECHANISMS OF INJURY

  41. THERMAL INJURIES • SCALDS —70% of burns in children;They also often occur in elderly people. Water at 140°F (60°C) creates a deep partial-thickness or full-thickness burn in 3 seconds. At 156°F (69°C), the same burn occurs in 1 second. Scald burns from grease or hot oil are usually deep partial-thickness or full-thickness burns, as the oil or grease may be in the range of 400°F (200°C).

  42. THERMAL INJURIES • FLAME — often associated with inhalational injury and other concomitanttrauma. Flame burns tend to be deep dermal or full thickness.Flame burns are the second most common mechanism of thermal injury. • CONTACT—In order to get a burn from direct contact, theobject touched must either have been extremely hot or the contactwas abnormally long. Burns from brief contact with very hot substances are usuallydue to industrial accidents. Contact burns tend to be deep dermalor full thickness.

  43. THERMAL INJURIES • FLASH - Explosions of natural gas, propane, butane, petroleum distillates, alcohols, and other combustible liquids, as well as electrical arcs cause intense heat for a brief time period. Flash burns generally have a distribution over all exposed skin, with the deepest areas facing the source of ignition. Are typically epidermal or partial thickness, their depth depending on the amount and kind of fuel that explodes
