Abstract
During the first 48 hours after a severe burn, the main clinical problem is development of burn shock. Patients are treated according to different protocols (Evans et al., 1952; Moore, 1970; Monafo et al., 1973). Large amounts of isotonic or hypertonic saline and/or colloids are administered. Diuresis is used as a parameter to control the infusion rate.
