| Popis: | BACKGROUND Burns that affect ≥20% of the total body surface area (TBSA) trigger a major inflammatory response in addition to capillary leakage and loss of serum proteins including albumin. Persistent hypoalbuminemia is therefore common in major burn patients. The purpose of this study was to determine whether human albumin solutions can benefit major burn patients with persistent hypoalbuminemia. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of major burn patients with ≥20% of TBSA involved at Taipei Veterans General Hospital between January 2007 and December 2018. Thirty-eight patients were enrolled. Patient demographics, burn characteristics, fluid balance, laboratory results, and outcomes were recorded through chart review. RESULT No significant differences were found in the baseline characteristics of patients who received |
