Burn 101
This type of burn is painful when exposed to air as nerve endings are now exposed
Partial thickness or second degree burn
This is the recommended treatment for an elevated carboxyhemoglobin
100% oxygen
Fluid resuscitation is initiated on burn patients with an injury size greater than this
20% TBSA
This part of the body is most resistant to electricity
Bone
This is the initial fluid rate for an 80 kg male with a 25% burn
500 ml/hr
This type of burn is not included in % TBSA calculations for fluid resuscitation
Superficial or first degree burn
Obstruction is the biggest threat in this type of inhalation injury
Supraglottic
This is the recommended type of fluid to use for burn rescuscitation
Lactated Ringers
Cement is classified as this type of chemical
Alkali
This is used to treat hydrofluoric acid burns
Topical calcium gluconate
Full thickness or third degree burn
Patients are at greatest risk for this complication during the "E" stage of the primary assessment
Hypothermia
These three elements are required to complete the burn fluid resuscitation formula: volume indicator (ml), patient weight in kg, and __________
This is a concerning finding in electrical injuries and is characterized by red-tinted urine
Myoglobinuria
This finding is most concerning for an inhalation injury after an enclosed space fire
Carbonaceous sputum
This population has fewer glycogen stores placing them at greater risk for complications due to hypermetabolism
Children
If intravenous lines cannot be obtained, this route would be another option to provide fluids and medications
Intraosseous
The goal urine output for a child receiving burn fluid resusciation
1 ml/kg/hr
Hydrofluoric acid can be life threatening as fluoride ions bind with this
Free or ionized calcium
This is the maintenance fluid rate calculated for a 10 kg child
40 ml/hr
Seepage of plasma proteins, fluids, and electrolytes are caused by this
Increased capillary permeability
Expect these to be performed on a patient with torso burns, increased peak pressures, and decreased tidal volume
Escharotomies
This additive is a hallmark of pediatric maintenance fluids
Dextrose
This can occur if powdered chemicals are not removed before irrigating with water
Exothermic reaction
This is the starting adjusted fluid rate for a 40 yo female with a 70% burn from a house fire weighing 60 kg
525 ml/hr
