About this listen
In the final installment of the Trauma and Burn Anesthesia Series, we explore the unique physiology and management of burn patients, a population that differs significantly from blunt or penetrating trauma. This episode covers the classification and severity of burns, the pathophysiology of burn shock, and essential principles like calculating burn extent using the rule of nines, applying the Parkland formula for fluid resuscitation, and monitoring for fluid creep. We also examine systemic complications affecting the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and metabolic systems, challenges of smoke inhalation injury and carbon monoxide poisoning, and the altered pharmacology that impacts anesthesia care. Finally, we discuss perioperative considerations such as blood loss, temperature control, and multimodal pain management, emphasizing why burn patients require such specialized care and preparation from anesthesia providers.
