the body based on an age of the patient and a weight of the patient, and determining, via the processing circuitry, the burn percentage of the patient based on the burned percentage of the at least one segment of the body and the surface area of the at least one segment of the body....
Body weight is a tempting measure of nutritional status as it is easy to obtain and is useful in the general population; however, it can be very misleading in burn patients. The initial fluid resuscitation after severe burn routinely adds 10–20 kg or more of body weight, and although this...
Fifty-three burn-injured participants were sampled at admission and 34 of these at 6 months post injury. Twenty-nine healthy age-matched control samples were also collected for comparison. Participant information relevant to injury outcome and severity, including total burn surface area percentage (T...
Chen Erzhen, vice president of Ruijin Hospital, said burn injuries are expensive to treat and a serious injury can put families into financial difficulties. “The cost is about 10,000 yuan for every 1 percentage of burns on the body surface area,” Chen said. “We have received many childr...

It includes percentage of body surface area (BSA) burned, percentage of full-thickness (third-degree) burns, presence and severity of inhalation injury, presence of other traumatic injuries, whether the patient is sedated or intubated, anticipated number of surgeries, and extent of donor sites. ...
Practice Tip: Euthanasia is recommended for horses with deep partial-thickness to full-thickness burns involving 30% to 50% of the total body surface area. Laboratory Findings • Shock supported by laboratory tests indicating a decrease in cardiac output, low total solids, increase in PCV (reduc...
Total costs were calculated from a societal perspective, until 3 months post injury. Subgroup analyses were performed to examine whether the mean total costs per patient differed by age, aetiology or percentage total body surface area (TBSA) burned. In our population, with a mean burn size of ...

Burn injury is classified by the percentage of total body surface area (TBSA) burned based on the Lund-Browder chart, the depth of the burn, and whether an inhalation injury has occurred (Box 1, Fig. 1) [2,3]. As defined by the American Burn Association (ABA), major burn injury is...
