Activity Description

In the United States, approximately 500,000 people seek care for burn injuries yearly. For civilians, these injuries are typically sustained in house fires, motor vehicle crashes, and work-related accidents. In combat, burn injuries represent 5% to 10% of combat casualties. The severity of burns is determined by the intensity of the thermal energy sustained, duration of exposure, and the area of the body affected. These parameters determine whether a patient will require treatment at a dedicated burn center. This activity emphasizes the importance of burn fluid resuscitation and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in managing burn patients.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the formula used to estimate fluid resuscitation in burn patients.

  • Describe the types of fluids used to resuscitate and maintain patients with burns.

  • Review the complications of burn fluid management.

  • Outline the importance of improving care coordination among the interprofessional team to enhance fluid resuscitation in burn patients.
