Abstract

Severe burns result in a combination of hypovolemic and redistribution shock, manifested by a decreased intravascular volume, a low occlusion pressure in the pulmonary artery, a high systemic vascular resistance, and a reduced cardiac index [1]. The balance of water, plasma protein (albumin), and inorganic solute between the intravascular and interstitial spaces (IVS and ISS, respectively) is modified by the alteration of capillary permeability, resulting in hypovolemia.
