Age, burn size, inhalation injury, and comorbid diseases are important factors in predicting
survival of patients with burn injuries. These same factors are important hi attempting to …

Advances in the management of burn patients have contributed to significant improvements
in morbidity and mortality over the last century. The physiologic insult from this injury pattern …
