ITBV may be a reliable preload indicator to guide volume therapy in life-threatening burns, and end-point-fixed resuscitation to this parameter seems to be associated with significantly higher fluid administration than calculated compared with traditional burn formulas. The effects of burn resuscitation to fixed end points on survival and multiple organ failure should be evaluated in future randomly assigned trials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
