Fluid replacement in burned patients. 1987

R H Demling

The selection of the fluid replacement for the burned patients is based on a sound understanding of the pathophysiology of the burn injury as well as a similar understanding of the properties of the various fluids available. The appropriate matching of these properties with the specific goals and necessary monitoring techniques for each patient will result in success. Those caring for the burned patient must remain both flexible and knowledgeable in order to optimize results.
