Epidemiological trends for burn wound infections in 2020 in albania.

The burn patient is at high hazard for nosocomial infections (NI) as a result of the nature of the burn damage itself, the immune-compromising impacts of burns, prolonged clinic stays, and intensive diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The aim of this study is to describe the actual epidemiology of burn wound colonization and infection in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Service of Burns and Plastic Surgery at the University Hospital Center in Tirana, Albania. The study is retrospective clinical and analytical.

Sodium Balance Analysis In The Burn Resuscitation Period.

The different formulae for resuscitation therapy after thermal damage recommend 0.5-0.6 mmol sodium for each % TBSA burned, suggesting fluid requirements from 2-4 ml/kg/% burn because of sodium loss in burned and unburned tissues.

Measurements Of Injury-Related Outcomes: Statistical And Analytical Data From Albania.

Numerous burn mortality indicators and prognostic scores are necessary to classify with priorities severely burned patients in order to predict outcome. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate mortality predictors on admission, in order to determine Lethal Area 50 and to validate burn prognostic scores. The study is retrospective, clinical and analytical.

Role of resuscitation ratio in monitoring burn patients.

Introduction: Efforts with the utilization of an Input/Output ratio (I/O ratio) are done with success for analyzing and moving forward the treatment in the resuscitation phase of the burn patient. The need for conducting this research is to apply the I/O ratio in our cohort as a helpful index for classifying the resuscitation response of the burn patients. Our prespecified hypothesis is if it matters the analysis of the I/O ratio at 8 h of fluid resuscitation period.
