Burn injuries alter a number of physiologic functions that place a patient at risk for serious complications. The adequate and rapid institution of fluid resuscitation maintains tissue perfusion and prevents organ system failure. Sepsis is controlled by early excision of burn wounds and topical antimicrobial agents. Enteral tube feeding is commenced early to maintain gastrointestinal mucosal integrity and provide fuel for the resulting hypermetabolic state. Ongoing clinical trials using anabolic agents and pharmacologic agents that modulate inflammatory and endocrine mediators show promise in the treatment of severe burn injuries. Further studies are required to address the primary determinants of death, inhalation injury complications and pneumonia as well as to ameliorate pain and scar formation, which are the persistent sequelae of this thermal injury.
