Beta-adrenoreceptor blocker (beta-blocker) therapy may improve outcomes in surgical patients by decreasing cardiac oxygen consumption and hypermetabolism. Because beta-blockers can lower the systemic blood pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure, th

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality for patients with burns. In nonburn populations, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) excludes other pathology such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome. We hypothes

There is no direct evidence that beta-blockers improve mortality in burn victims. Beta-blockers attenuate hypermetabolic states in burned children, and perioperative use in elective adult cases has beneficial effects, which suggests that beta-blocker

Thermal injury disrupts normal hemostasis and sets off a cascade of events: cellular alterations and release of inflammatory mediators cause hypovolemic and cellular shock. Fluid resuscitation in burn injuries has been in use for more than a century,
