This narrative review explores the current landscape of vasoactive agents in acute burn shock resuscitation and severe burn-injured patients who develop septic shock, with a particular focus on the potential role of the novel vasoactive agent, synthetic angiotensin-II (AT-II), in these settings. While catecholamines and vasopressin remain cornerstone therapies, adverse effects, variable patient response, and a new understanding of burn injury pathophysiology highlight the potentially evolving role of vasoactive agents in these clinical scenarios. A key system involved in blood pressure regulation, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), is often dysregulated in acute burn and septic shock. Contributory mechanisms and potential benefits of synthetic AT-II are discussed here within and form the physiologic rationale behind exogenous administration of synthetic AT-II in the context of available safety and efficacy data. To date, administration of synthetic AT-II administration has shown promise in improving hemodynamics and clinical outcomes in distributive shock populations; however, data in acute burn shock and burn patients who develop septic shock are lacking.

It was hypothesized that this change would not increase bleeding complications and would decrease venous thromboembolism rates. All adult, burn-injured patients admitted to a regional burn center were retrospectively reviewed one year before and after the implementation of this protocol modification. There were no differences in demographics, injury characteristics, or hospital length of stay between the pre- (n=432) and post-protocol modification (n=407) groups. Bleeding complications did not increase in the post-protocol group, including intraoperative blood loss (50 vs 25cc), the total number of transfusions (9.0 vs 6.0 units), and GI bleeding events (0.7 vs 0.2%) (all p>0.05).

Noting that prior studies were limited by small sample sizes, we aimed to use a large database to explore the associations between hand burn severity, functional hand outcomes, and RTW post-injury. Data from a multicenter longitudinal study were analyzed. Adults with burn injuries were classified into 6 groups ranking in severity of hand injury: (0) no hand burns, (1) single hand burn no grafting, (2) bilateral hand burn no grafting, (3) single hand burn requiring grafting, (4) bilateral hand burn requiring unilateral graft, (5) bilateral hand burn requiring bilateral grafts. Grafting was used as a proxy for burn severity.

This war is characterized by urban close contact combat. The combat equipment, weaponry, and protective measures employed, differ markedly from those in previously documented major conflicts, significantly impacting the types of injuries sustained by soldiers. This study examines the number of injured soldiers in combat, field mortality rates, incidence of burns and trauma, demographic details of the injured, causes and distribution of injuries, burn characteristics, hemodynamic status, and injury severity. This is a retrospective, registry-based cohort study. Military personnel treated by IDF medical teams with burn injuries from the ground maneuver in Gaza between October 27th, 2023 to April 2024 were included in the analysis. Diagnosis of burn injuries was made in the prehospital setting and recorded in the patient's casualty cards and the IDF trauma registry and/or in the hospitals, and then recorded by the Israel National Trauma Registry. A total of 2,627 documented military personnel were included. Of them, there was a total of 249 burn casualties. They were all male combat soldiers and their mean age was 22 years. Most of the burn injuries were combined with other injuries, only 12% were defined as in shock state, and 14% received whole blood in the field. The burn degree was second and third degree for most cases. A third (34%) of burn injured soldiers had surgery (Table 2), and half of the total were sent to rehabilitation departments following their initial hospitalization. An analysis of total body surface area (TBSA)% affected by burns among SOI War casualties reveals a higher proportion of severe burns exceeding 20% TBSA, compared to previous conflicts. Additionally, a higher proportion of personnel suffered from second and third degree burns. This is likely attributed to the operational mode of the IDF in Gaza, where urban close-contact warfare exposes soldiers to heightened risks of explosive and blast injuries. A significant percentage of live casualties had TBSA percentages that were not life-threatening, which underscores the importance of updating emergency burn treatment protocols and employing rapid evacuation and medical response systems in the field. Most of the wounded that suffer from significant burns had other significant and life-threatening injuries, making the appropriate protective measures and the preparation for rapid evacuation the best way to improve burn casualty survival. The significance of this research lies in the timely analysis of accumulated combat data to derive lessons and conclusions relevant to ongoing and future conflicts, and to understand the clinical implications arising from combat situations.

Many conservative treatment interventions have been described in the literature for the management of HSc. Recent advancements in the literature pertaining to post-burn scarring and HSc formation, have advanced our understanding of the mechanisms that support or refute the use of common rehabilitation treatment modalities after burn injury. This is particularly relevant for recent advancements in the fields of mechanotransduction and neurogenic inflammation resulting in the need for rehabilitation clinicians to reflect upon commonly employed treatment interventions. The aim of this review article is to summarize and clinically apply the evidence that supports or refutes the use of common conservative treatment interventions for scar management employed after burn injury. The following treatments are discussed and mechanotransduction and neurogenic inflammation concepts are highlighted: 1) edema management (compression, positioning/elevation, pumping exercises, retrograde massage, manual edema mobilization), 2) pressure therapy (including custom fabricated pressure garments, inserts, face masks, and other low-load long duration orthotic devices), 3) gels or gel sheets, 4) combined pressure therapy and gels, 5) serial casting, 6) scar massage, and 7) passive stretching. This review supports the following statements: 1) Compression for edema reduction should be initiated 48-72 hrs post-injury and continued for wounds that require longer than 21 days to heal until scar maturation; 2) Elevation, pumping exercises and retrograde massage/MEM should be used in combination with other edema management techniques; 3) Custom fabricated pressure garments should be applied once the edema is stabilized and adequate healing has occurred. Garments should be monitored on a regular basis to ensure that optional pressure, >15 mm Hg, is maintained, adding inserts when necessary. The wearing time should be >16 hrs/day; 4) Gels for post-burn scar management should extend beyond the scar; 5) Serial casting should be applied when contractures interfere with function; 6) Forceful scar massage should be avoided early in the wound healing process or when the scar is inflamed or breaks down; 7) Other treatment modalities should be prioritized over passive stretching for scar management.</p>","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142644312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article reviews approaches to oral splinting and an alternative intraoral approach using splints designed to provide a graded, low load, multidirectional, and prolonged stretch specifically in facial burn survivors including those with mature scars. Two participants participated in a trial using oral splints placed inside the mouth at established contracture points. Participants were requested to use the splints for 1 h twice daily.

Numerical changes observed from beginning to end of the trial indicate positive and negative alterations, signifying lengthening or shortening of tissue. Negative changes denote reduction in distance between endpoints, while positive changes signify an increase. Participants verbalized functional improvements in oral motor and psychosocial function posttreatment. To date, oral splints can be custom fabricated for each individual patient.
