Abstract
- PURPOSE
This study was performed to investigate the effect of plasma lactate clearance as predictive factor of major burn patients.
METHODS
A retrospective review was performed on 119 patients from January 2014 to December 2018, who were admitted as severe burn patients to ICU unit. Plasma lactate was measured upon admission to the hospital and 24hrs after admission. And, hospital day, ICU day, TBSA (Total Body Surface Area) and numbers of surgical intervention were collected after admission.
RESULTS
Higher lactate clearance showed negative statistical correlation with survival, hospital day, ICU day & number of surgical interventions.
CONCLUSION
In this study, 24hr lactate clearance might be used as predictor of clinical prognosis following major burn injury.
