The pilot was in cardiac arrest upon arrival of emergency personnel at the scene. Her initial vital signs were 128/81mmHg-121/min-20/min-37.8°C, and her EKG was nonspecific. She complained of severe pain in her left-side extremities. We found a severe burn (grade III-IV) on her left upper and lower extremities (Fig. 1.). We inserted a right subclavian central catheter and an additional internal jugular hemo-catheter for vigorous hydration and preparation of hemodialysis. Traumatologists performed an escharotomy on her upper and lower extremities and called for an orthopedic surgeon. The traumatologist and orthopedic doctor elected to perform an emergency operation (fasciotomy of the left upper limb and above-knee amputation of the left lower limb). Her initial urine myoglobulin level was 1923 mcg/L. After resuscitation, she was sent to the operation room. One orthopedic doctor and two traumatologists performed an above-knee amputation and fasciotomy, simultaneously (Fig. 2.). For pain control and facilitation of further operational procedures, we kept the patient ventilated and under continuous infusion of sedatives and analgesics. After the first operation, we consulted a nephrologist and applied renal replacement therapy to her. We debrided and irrigated the necrotic tissue. Finally, she was transferred to the burn center for advanced burn management.
