A patient with a large TBSA burn injury is transferred to a regional burn center. You are faced with some difficult clinical decisions as the resuscitation proves to be challenging. Join Drs. Tam Pham, Rob Cartotto, Julie Rizzo, Alex Morzycki and Jamie Oh as they discuss the clinical challenges in titrating and troubleshooting during acute burn resuscitation. Hosts: · Dr. Tam Pham: UW Medicine Regional Burn Center · Dr. Robert Cartotto: University of Toronto, Ross Tilley Burn Centre · Dr. Julie Rizzo: Brooke Army Medical Center · Dr. Alex Morzycki: UW Medicine Regional Burn Center · Dr. Jamie Oh: UW Medicine Regional Burn Center Learning Objectives: · Understand the role of colloids as complement/rescue to standard crystalloid fluid titration. · Identify the fluid threshold associated with development of abdominal compartment syndrome · Understand the role of continuous renal replacement therapy for patients with acute kidney injury during the resuscitation phase. · List specific patient populations who may experience a more difficult resuscitation.
