29:25
A patient with a large TBSA burn injury presents to a local emergency department and you are the only surgeon on duty that evening. With snow covered roads and poor visibility, the patient requires initial stabilization prior to transfer to the regional burn center. You are faced with some difficult clinical decisions as you begin their resuscitation. Join Drs. Tam Pham, Rob Cartotto, Julie Rizzo, Alex Morzycki and Jamie Oh as they discuss the clinical challenges in initiating burn resuscitation, pitfalls in long-distance transport, and more.
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:
· Describe initial fluid strategies, including the recommendations of the Advanced Burn Life Support (ABLS) course, traditional resuscitation formulas, and the Rule of 10.
· Describe logistical and medical challenges of long-distance transport to a regional burn center.
· Understand recent advances learned from recent conflicts in military burn casualty care.
· List options for intravenous access.
· Understand endpoints of resuscitation, including adjuncts which may help guide fluid titration.
