Abstract

Background: A burn tissue injury is one of the most severe forms of trauma which results in severe life-threatening disturbances. Burn injury has many morbid complications, so it needs a multi-disciplinary care team according to the burn center to reduce its mortality and morbidity.

Methods: This article aims to review drawbacks and complications associated with the burning injury including Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), Acute lung injury, Heart Failure, Electrolyte imbalance, intra-abdominal hypertension in children and adult burn patients, and recent challenging treatments.

Results: Improved understanding of the pathophysiology of burn-induced complications can contribute to organizing a well-treatment plan, which leads to improved outcomes.

Conclusions: Herein, the evidence available on the management of all burn induced-complications is summarized.
