ESSAY ON: Shock in Burns and Spinal Transection

Number of Pages 10

This research paper: A 10 page paper discussing the effect of fluid management in (1) a partial-thickness burn of 40% BSA and (2) transection of the spinal cord at T-2. Both conditions warrant monitoring fluid intake and output, but for different reasons. Manipulating fluid intake in the burn victim is a matter of preserving normal function of unaffected, vital systems by ensuring that the patient receives electrolytes lost through massive fluid loss as a result of severe burning. Close fluid management is important in the spinal cord injury victim as well, but it generally is not as tightly critical as it is for the victim of severe burning. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
