Current guidelines outlining the resuscitation of severely burned patients, in the United States, were developed over 30 years ago. Unfortunately, clinical burn resuscitation has not advanced significantly since that time despite ongoing research efforts. Many formulas exist and have been developed with the intention of providing appropriate, more precise fluid resuscitation with decreased morb...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative frequency of pediatric in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation events occurring in ICUs compared to general wards. We hypothesized that the proportion of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation provided in ICUs versus general wards has increased over the past decade, and this shift is associated with improved resuscitation outcomes...

INTRODUCTION Fluid resuscitation is an indispensable procedure in the acute management of hemorrhagic shock for restoring tissue perfusion, particularly microcirculation in splanchnic organs. Resuscitation fluids include crystalloids, hypertonic saline (HTS), and synthetic colloids, and their selection affects the recovery of microcirculatory blood flow and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formati...

In the aftermath of a mass disaster, standard care methods for treatment of burn injury will often not be available for all victims. A method of fluid resuscitation for burns that has largely been forgotten by contemporary burn experts is enteral resuscitation. We identified 12 studies with over 700 patients treated with enteral resuscitation, defined as drinking or gastric infusion of salt sol...

The objectives of this review are to assess the current state of hypertonic saline as a prehospital resuscitation fluid in hypotensive trauma patients, particularly after the 3 major Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium trauma trials in the US and Canada were halted due to futility. Hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury are the leading causes of death in both military and civilian populations. Pre...

esuscitation has become an important multidisciplinary branch of medicine, demanding aapectrum of skills and attracting a plethora of specialties and organizations, each of which claims a legitimate interest in the science and practice of resuscitation. This complex background has hindered the development of a uniform pattern or set of definitions for reporting results. Different systems cannot...

background: cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation (cpcr) training is essential for all hospital workers, especially junior residents who might become the manager of the resuscitation team. in our center, the traditional cpcr knowledge training curriculum for junior residents up to 5 years ago was lecture-based and had some faults. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of a problem-based meth...

appropriately trained according to their position and specialty.3 Basic life support training was held to be mandatory for all. The working party recommended that a resuscitation training officer be appointed in every acute hospital solely to ensure that training is implemented and cardiac arrests are regularly audited. It has been shown that cardiac arrest survival can be directly correlated w...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Severely injured trauma victims are at high risk of development of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) or death. To maximize chances for survival, treatment priorities must focus on resuscitation from shock (defined as inadequate tissue oxygenation to meet tissue O2 requirements), including appropriate fluid resuscitation and rapid hemostasis. Inadequate tiss...
