Activity Description

Anesthetic management of the patient with burns can be complex due to various pathophysiological and hemodynamic changes following a burn comprising greater than 20% total body surface area. The patient with severe burns poses added challenges of airway management, fluid resuscitation, and vascular access due to direct trauma to the skin and soft tissue structures. This activity reviews and highlights the critical components necessary for the anesthetic management of a patient with severe burns, emphasizing the inter-professional team in evaluation and treatment.


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:

  • Explain how the pathophysiologic changes associated with burns alter anesthetic management.
  • Identify the ideal approach to an airway complicated by significant thermal injury to supraglottic structures.
  • Utilize the Parkland formula for fluid resuscitation after a severe burn and the parameters by which fluid resuscitation should be guided.
  • Collaborate with the interprofessional team to optimize the care of a patient with burns and provide anesthesia management.
