Early Management of Burns Written by : Paul

چکیده
The initial effect of a burn is to produce a dilation of the capillaries and small vessels in the area or body surface involved. This has the effect of increasing capillary permeability resulting in the seeping of plasma into surrounding tissue causing blisters and edema. For this reason, early management of burn patients involves a replacement of this fluid loss. To fail to do so may result in reduced blood volume, a thickening of the blood, and a reduction in the efficiency of the circulatory system. One frequently seen outcome is the patient entering into shock.
