Burns

Burns are pretty horrible, if you ask me, and also very interesting. I'm going to explain the classifications of burns and how to write them.

General Info

The first 48 hours after the burn is the most critical point, and has the most impact on patient outcome

You can use the "rule of nines" to determine the extent or total body surface area (TBSA) of the burn. This is important to assess damage and risks

Burns covering more than 20% of TBSA are pretty fucking bad, and you're gonna probably need some intensive support

This amazing inflammation system we have can lead to shock and the coagulation of the blood = very bad, possible death

A day or so later, the patient may develop acute respiratory syndrome due to inhalation of hot air (depending on the mechanism of injury)

Burn Classifications

Superficial Burns (1st degree)

These are painful, red areas that are not initially blistered

There is not significant worry about electrolyte loss or prognosis

May convert to deeper burns if there is treatment delay or infection

Partial Thickness (2nd degree)

These can be superficial or deep

Superficial 2nd degree burns are blistered, and will look pink and wet

Deep 2nd degree burns are blistered, and will look white and wet. They will also begin to bleed if you mess with them

2nd degree burns are very painful, as nervous structure is still maintained in the skin

Full-thickness Burns (3rd Degree and Up)

These result in a loss of skin structures, such as the hair follicles and sebaceous glands

They can look whitish-yellow or be black/charred

The skin will be hard and dry, and will not bleed if you start messing with it

These aren't as painful, as large areas of the injury will have lost nerve structures

4th degree and up cause damage to tendons, muscles, and bone. These are some of the worst injuries, in my opinion.

Treatment

Deep partial-thickness and full-thickness burns are probably gonna need debrided (removal of unsalvageable tissue). You may even need to cut out some bone if it was burned (otherwise you get necrosis - aka rot). Then some good skin will need to be grafted on top

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (like ibuprofen) and opioids are used in pain management (depending on the severity of the burn). Or you can give ketamine or block nerves if it is really bad

Gonna want to get some fluids in severe burn patients

For full thickness burns, you may have to make escharotomy incisions. This means cutting large incisions in the skin to relieve the pressure made by the formation of eschar (a thick tissue that can constrict blood supply)

There's also fasciotomies, which are incisions in the fascia (connective tissue) of the muscles to allow them to expand and swell without damaging the soft tissue, nerves, and vessels of the arms and legs

A topical antibiotic may be useful, such as silver sulfadiazine. Silver nylon dressings are also a great choice. The burned areas should be cleaned daily, as well

Critical burn patients may need more intervention. They will have difficulty maintaining body temperature, so the room can be heated so they don't get too cold. Usually they can start eating (aka using the GI tract) about a day after injury. But you can start nutrition via IV immediately

Complications

Electrical injuries can cause burns to the deep tissues without significant findings on the skin. They can also cause cardiac arrhythmias

Pancreatitis and stress ulcers occur in severe burns

Abdominal compartment syndrome is a potentially lethal condition in severely burned patients, due to the buildup of pressure

Multiorgan system failure is a possibility

Most burn patients get an infection as some point in their recovery, and many have multiple bacterial infection episodes. If this is not fixed, they can develop sepsis

Writing Burns

Focus on what caused the burn. The mechanism of injury is very important. House fires (smoke inhalation), electrocution (arrhythmia), and chemical burns (leeching into the blood stream) all have different things we need to worry about

Figure out the thickness. The mechanism of injury is important here, as well. Touching a hot stove for a second doesn't give someone 3rd degree burns, but mustard gas can. Look up the specific situation you want and try to find information of that (like pictures, accounts, etc.), as every burn situation is a little different

Figure out what you want treatment to look like. If treatment is a bigger part of the story, give a more severe degree of burn, and throw in some complications. People love that stuff (well, certain people do)

For more severe burns (3rd degree and up), don't fall into the trap that they aren't painful. These injuries are insanely painful. Just because someone does not have sensation in the area that was fully burnt, does not mean the rest of their body is untouched. Burns radiate out into less thick areas. So the edges of the wound will be very painful. Their body is also in a really bad spot, leading to pain that isn't as acute or localized.

Does Tummy Tuck Cause Stomach Issues?

Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is done to tighten the loose skin and muscle as well. This is a cosmetic surgery done to improve the overall appearance of the belly area of the candidate. Like every other procedure, a tummy tuck also has some complications that may arise if you have had this surgery. You may suffer from some gastrointestinal problems after a tummy tuck. But before knowing about the same, let’s look into why a tummy tuck is done in the first place.

What is a tummy tuck? Why is it done?

Aside from removing excess skin and fat, the cosmetic surgeon may use sutures to tighten the connective tissues of the abdomen. The entire goal of the operation is to give the abdomen a more toned and sleek appearance.

Can a tummy tuck cause gastric problems?

There are fewer complications that may occur after tummy tuck surgery. However, the benefits have outweighed the risk of the same. On the other hand, if you have other digestive issues like GERD, urinary incontinence, the pressure inside the tummy may get raised temporarily.

As per our cosmetic surgeon, the stomach issues that may happen include-

Upper abdomen bulge- a soft bulge or swelling at the upper belly area. This may happen due to significant tightening of the lower abdomen during the surgery.

Compartment syndrome in the abdomen- this may happen due to increased abdominal pressure after abdominoplasty.

Low blood pressure, respiratory problems, abdominal distension, and reduced urine are some of the symptoms.

When the rectus abdominis muscles are not returned to their natural anatomical positions by the surgeon, this can happen. This has been most commonly encountered in the RAFT(rectus abdominis fat transfer) procedure.

Swelling- one of the most common GI (gastrointestinal) symptoms that can happen after a tummy tuck. It will go on its own after four to six months. Even after that, if this persists, you should consult your surgeon immediately.

Infection- it’s a rare complication, infection can happen from the suture or stitch itself i.e placed after surgery.

You may experience fever, redness, swelling in the affected area.

This may happen only if-

The patient is allergic to the prescribed antibiotics and skipped his/her medicines.

Antibiotics are not given before the surgery

The patient has a history of previous MRSA( methicillin-resistant staph aureus), an infection that needs intensive treatment.

Fluid accumulation — Fluid collection in the gap between the abdominal skin and the muscle beneath it. A seroma (collection of wound fluid) or hematoma (collection of blood) are two types of fluid buildup.

When nothing is done to avoid it, fluid accumulates. The candidate must wear compression garments for at least a few weeks following the treatment to prevent such consequences.

Fluid pads can be placed over the area that is prone to fluid accumulation.

However, a tummy tuck will not affect digestion once it has been healed. Immediately after surgery, you may feel bloating, swelling, or constipation that might go away with time.Conclusion-By simply packing their medical journey to India, liver transplant treatment can substantially benefit the patient. We also offer a comprehensive range of counseling for coping with emotional changes to our international patients.

Intra-Abdominal Pressure Mapping: Navigating Internal Dynamics

IAP measurement devices have become an essential tool for monitoring patients at risk of developing abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Precise measurement of IAP allows for early detection of dangerously high pressures in the abdomen that can compromise organ and tissue function. With early recognition, life-saving decompressive treatments can be promptly initiated to reverse the effects of ACS. This article discusses the significance of IAP monitoring, currently available measurement devices, and their role in managing this potentially lethal condition.

Pathophysiology of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome ACS is a condition characterized by sustained elevated IAP above 20 mmHg that is associated with new organ dysfunction. It most often occurs secondary to causes like massive fluid resuscitation, pancreatitis, trauma, or sepsis. The high pressure within the confined abdominal cavity compromises circulation to the intestines, kidneys, and other abdominal organs. Left untreated, this can lead to multi-organ failure and even death. IAP acts as a surrogate marker for the degree of perfusion to abdominal organs. Precise quantification is therefore crucial for early recognition of dangerous pressures and guiding timely clinical intervention.

Types of Intra Abdominal Pressure Measurement Devices There are several FDA-approved devices commercially available for intra-abdominal pressure monitoring in critically ill patients:

- Bladder Pressure Monitoring Catheters: These Foley-type catheters with additional ports are considered the gold standard. They directly measure bladder pressure which accurately approximates IAP.

- Intravesical/Suprapubic Transducers: Thin transducers are placed directly into the bladder through a Foley catheter or small incision above the pubis.

- AbViser: This abdominal access device uses a flat disposable connector to indirectly measure IAP via the stomach after placement through the mouth.

- FoleyManometer: A specialized Foley catheter is attached to a transducer-manometer unit for bedside IAP readings without additional equipment.

All devices require sterile technique and zeroing to atmospheric pressure prior to each measurement. Pressures are recorded at end-expiration during short vessel occlusion to avoid fluctuation from respiration.

Monitoring Protocol and Clinical Application Most expert guidelines recommend routine IAP monitoring in high-risk patients with an established clinical protocol. Measurements are typically performed and recorded every 4 hours but can be more frequent if the clinical status changes rapidly. Sequential assessments allow clinicians to track pressure trends over time rather than single readings.

Elevated or increasing IAP alerts the healthcare team to the possibility of developing ACS before overt organ dysfunction occurs. This enables proactive intervention like conservative measures, surgical decompression, or drainage procedures to reduce pressure. Guidance on treatment is based on both IAP level and new organ dysfunction using the World Society of the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome consensus definitions.

Outcomes with Early Monitoring Multiple studies have shown the benefits of early IAP monitoring to detect ACS and guide therapy. Early decompression surgery for refractory elevated pressures above 25mmHg or 20mmHg with new organ dysfunction is associated with significantly reduced mortality compared to late or no surgical intervention.

In high-risk patient populations like severe traumatic brain injury, monitoring identifies ACS in up to 20% who would otherwise go unrecognized. Early diagnosis prevents the severe circulatory and respiratory complications caused by dangerously high and progressively worsening IAP. It allows timely reversible treatments to be instituted before irreversible end-organ damage develops.

Overall, the ability to continuously track IAP enables clinicians to intervene proactively rather than reactively to prevent the lethal cascade leading to multisystem organ failure from abdominal hypertension. Precise quantification guides timely escalation or de-escalation of therapies according to pressure trends and clinical status. This improves outcomes by avoiding or minimizing adverse effects of untreated ACS.

Challenges and Future Directions While IAP monitoring is gaining widespread acceptance, variability persists in clinical protocols and treatment thresholds between centers. Standardization of measurement techniques and consensus guidelines have helped address differences but further research is still needed.

Novel non-invasive methods like abdominal perfusion pressure estimation by ultrasound are under investigation but have not replaced direct catheter-based intra abdominal pressure measurement devices. Improving accuracy, reducing invasiveness and costs are goals for future technological advancements. Larger outcome studies evaluating different target pressures, monitoring intervals and therapies will help optimize protocols. Overall, IAP quantification remains a cornerstone of managing high-risk abdominal conditions and prevents potentially life-threatening abdominal compartment syndrome.

A Rare Cause of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome: Chylous Ascites in non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma_Crimson Publishers

Abstract

Background: Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) occurs in critically sick patients and is defined as intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) over 20mmHg accompanied by new-onset organ dysfunction [1]. ACS necessitates emergent therapy to decrease abdominal pressures-whether it be via surgical means, or in the case of our patient, paracentesis [1].

Case presentation: A 60-year-old male with a medical history of coronary artery disease status post coronary artery bypass graft and hypertension presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with shortness of breath of 2 days duration preceded by three weeks of increasing abdominal pain and lower extremity edema. He was found to have large ascites and extensive lymphadenopathy on computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis. He went for emergent paracentesis and 13,500mL of chyle was removed from the peritoneum. He was eventually diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) and started on chemotherapy. Unfortunately, he expired four months later due to a cardiac arrest at home.

Conclusion: Although ACS is more classically caused by trauma and/or bleeding, severe liver cirrhosis, ileus, excessive fluid resuscitation or transfusion, it can also be caused by any process that increases IAP [1]. ACS has been reported due to a retroperitoneal mass from NHL but has not yet been described as a complication of malignant chylous ascites [2]. Here, we report the first case of ACS caused by chylous ascites in the setting of newly diagnosed NHL

Dr. Barclay told us to look up abdominal HTN vs abdominal compartment syndrome as well as portal venous gas vs pneumobilia.

Intraabdominal pressure greater than 15 mmHg = Abdominal HTN

Intraabdominal pressure greater than 30 mmHg = Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS)

The treatment for ACS is opening the abdomen to relieve the pressure. This is what they had to do for a pt we had today. They opened his abdomen in the ICU and we could see his intestines. He died.

One cause of portal venous gas is ischemic bowel. Bacteria in the wall of the bowel cause air to go into the portal venous system--> portal venous gas. The pt's abdominal CT showed impressive portal venous gas.

Inside the Abdomen: Innovations in Pressure Measurement Devices.

Introduction to Intra-Abdominal Hypertension

Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) occurs when pressure inside the abdominal cavity increases above normal physiologic levels. The abdominal cavity houses many vital organs and any excess pressure can compromise blood flow to these organs, leading to organ dysfunction or failure. IAH is commonly seen in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who have undergone major surgery, experienced severe trauma, or have conditions that cause widespread inflammation and edema. Left unrecognized and untreated, IAH can progress to abdominal compartment syndrome, a serious medical condition where severe pressure prevents organs from functioning properly. It is crucial for clinicians to be able to reliably measure intra-abdominal pressure so that IAH and abdominal compartment syndrome can be timely diagnosed and managed.

Advantages of Bladder Pressure Measurements

The traditional method of measuring intra-abdominal pressure involves placing a pressure transducer via a Foley catheter inserted into the bladder. The bladder lies in the abdominal cavity and closely reflects changes in IAP. Bladder pressure measurements offer several advantages - they are minimally invasive, can be easily performed at the bedside, and allow for serial measurements over time to monitor a patient's condition and response to treatments. Catheterization of the bladder is standard practice in critically ill patients so an additional measurement does not substantially increase invasiveness. As the bladder filling volume is standardized at 25 mL, bladder pressure reflects true IAP and is not impacted by variable bladder volumes.

Limitations of the Bladder Method

However, bladder pressure measurements do have some limitations. Placement of the Foley catheter requires disinfection and sterile technique to prevent introducing infection. The low compliant Foley balloon material may not accurately reflect abrupt IAP swings. There is also a risk of over-distending the bladder and inflicting damage. Patients with prior pelvic surgery or trauma may have anatomical variations hindering accurate catheter placement. In certain situations such as pelvic or abdominal bleeding, a Foley catheter may not be suitable and alternative techniques are needed. Overall, while bladder pressure monitoring remains the clinical gold standard, novel devices offer options to overcome some of the constraints.

Esophageal Manometry for IAP Measurement

One alternative method is esophageal manometry which involves placement of an esophageal probe with a pressure sensor transducer. When the patient is in supine position and at end-expiration, the applied pressure is transmitted equally from the abdominal cavity to the esophagus, allowing esophageal pressure readings to substitute for direct IAP measurements. This technique is non-invasive and avoids the need for bladder instrumentation. Esophageal manometry correlates well with simultaneous bladder pressure readings. However, it requires specialized equipment and technical expertise in probe placement that may not be readily available everywhere. Positioning of the patient in strict supine posture with the head of the bed flat is important but not always practical in ICU settings.

Direct Abdominal Pressure Catheters

For overcoming the detractions of bladder and esophageal techniques, direct abdominal pressure monitoring devices have been developed. These involve percutaneous placement of a small flexible catheter with a pressure sensor tip directly into the abdominal cavity under ultrasound guidance. The most widely evaluated device is the AbViser catheter which has an 18-gauge diameter and ease of insertion. Direct IAP readings obtained through abdominal catheters demonstrate superior correlation with 'true' IAP measured during surgical abdominal decompression procedures compared to indirect bladder or esophageal readings. Besides higher accuracy, abdominal catheters allow continuous real-time monitoring of pressure trends without interference from bladder volumes or patient positioning. This is useful when titrating therapies aimed at reducing Intra Abdominal Pressure Increased Usage of Novel Devices

With enhanced technological capabilities and streamlined designs, usage of direct abdominal catheters and other novel IAP monitoring systems is growing. Their advantages include direct access to the pressure milieu, ability to track pressure waveforms and fluctuations, removal of urinary obstruction issues, and facilitation of IAP-guided clinical management protocols. This represents a shift from intermittent to continuous surveillance of an important hemodynamic parameter in high-risk critically ill populations. Wider availability of minimally invasive IAP monitors may help expand usage from specialized surgical/trauma ICUs to general medical/surgical units as well. Efforts are ongoing to further simplify device construction, reduce costs, and automate data transfer for improved real-time clinical decision making support.

Infection Prevention Strategies

Though offering distinct advantages, abdominal catheters pose their own risks including introduction of infection during placement. All percutaneous access devices, regardless of insertion site, mandate strict adherence to maxillary barrier precautions. Thorough patient skin antisepsis and use of sterile technique during device insertion are fundamental to limit bacterial ingress. Once deployed, the catheter exit site should remain clean and dry under an occlusive dressing changed as per institutional policy. Close monitoring for signs of local or systemic infection enables prompt corrective measures including catheter replacement if needed. Anti-microbial impregnation of catheters represents another strategy under investigation to stave off biofilm formation and lower infection rates with prolonged indwelling times. With diligent aseptic practices, the benefits of

Cautionary

A while back I had a COVID patient transferred to us from an OSH because they developed an interesting and complex complication from their COVID infection.

This person ended up developing retroperitoneal hematomas from lumbar arterial hemorrhages, presumably from endothelial damage and apoptosis from COVID. It should be known that this person was unvaccinated but had no other comorbidities associated with "bad" COVID infection. Also no other reason to explain the hemorrhaged (trauma, clotting factor problem, etc).

I admitted this person and they were a hot mess when they came in: on 3 pressors (while I was adding a 4th), hemorrhaging in the belly after one failed IR attempt to stop the bleeding, and gradually developing abdominal compartment syndrome from the massive about of blood in their belly. I spent the first 7 hours of my shift with this patient only because they were too unstable to go to imaging or IR without a provider present in case they coded. Literally followed them around with the box of blood product and just handing the nurse more blood. It was ridiculous.

They ended up going for an ex/lap and are doing better now. Long road ahead for recovery but they are alive.

I'm sharing this because I'm wondering if other people caring for COVID patients have seen hemorrhaging? We are all accustomed to the risk of clotting with COVID patients, but this was my first who was bleeding out. What were your experiences? How often do you see this?
