Pattern of dysphagia recovery after thermal burn injury.
Providing nutritional support after thermal burn injury is a critical element in achieving successful patient outcomes. The medical records of 28 patients admitted to an acute care burn unit and referred to speech pathology for a swallowing evaluation were reviewed for patterns of dysphagia care. Results revealed a strong positive linear relationship between percent body burns (r = .71), number...
متن کاملClinical progression and outcome of dysphagia following thermal burn injury: a prospective cohort study.
The objectives of this study were 1) to establish clinical profiles of dysphagic and nondysphagic individuals following thermal burn injury and 2) to provide a clinical profile of the progression and outcome of dysphagia resolution by hospital discharge for a dysphagic cohort. A total of 438 consecutively admitted patients with thermal burns were included. All patients underwent a clinical swal...

متن کاملInvasive Vibrio cholerae infection following burn injury.
Vibrio cholerae is a pathogen predominantly appreciated for its potential to produce life-threatening watery diarrhea, usually without invasive disease. However, nonepidemic forms, which are present worldwide, may have a severe invasive presentation, especially among those with liver disease or other immunocompromised states. We present a case of invasive infection (pulmonary, wound, and bacter...
متن کاملPlasma cytokines following thermal injury and their relationship with patient mortality, burn size, and time postburn.
We measured plasma levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) following thermal injury. Cytokine levels in the plasma of 27 burned patients were serially screened by ELISA and compared with cytokine levels in 16 healthy laboratory employees. The relationships between cytokine concentrations and patient mortality, burn size, and ti...
