Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if burn injured patients who receive blood transfusions in the operating room have better outcomes when given transfusions at a set ratio (1:1)of PRBC to FFP. Traditionally, patients that need blood transfusions during surgery are given mostly packed red blood cells (PRBC) and some fresh frozen plasma (FFP). This is usually about 1:4 ratio of FFP to PRBC. In this study, we will compare this traditional approach (1:4) to a 1:1 ratio of FFP to PRBC during the operative period. The hypothesis of the study is that the use of FFP/PRBC ratio of 1:1, compared to a ratio of 1:4 will result in a(n) 1. decrease in the amount of blood transfused in the operating room 2. decrease in the amount of blood transfused during hospitalization 3. improvement in coagulation parameters (PT/PTT, INR, antithrombin III, Protein C and Fibrinogen in the operative period (from operation start to 12 hours post operatively) and at 24 hours postoperatively 4. decrease the hospital length of stay, lung dysfunction, infections, and mortality
Burn injury as well as diabetes mellitus (DM) induce physical functional and psychological impairments. Lower limb burn involving Foot are still a challenging heath condition because of its important sensory role. Balance is disturbed either in patients with lower limb burn injury or diabetic patients. This study aime to compare between the effects whole body vibrational training and Yoga exercises on postural balance, and Activities-specific Balance Confidence in in type II diabetic Patients with foot burn
This project will identify the efficacy of cooling modalities aimed to attenuate excessive elevations in skin and internal body temperatures during physical activity in well-healed burn survivors. The investigators will conduct a randomized crossover design study. Non-burned control subjects, subjects who experienced burns covering ~20% to 40% of their body surface area, and subject having burns >40% of their body surface area will be investigated. Subjects will exercise in heated environmental conditions while receiving the following cooling modalities: no cooling, fan only, skin wetting only, and a combination of fan and skin wetting.
There are very few studies indicating the effect of acute phase treatment approaches on creatine kinase and the musculoskeletal system in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation process. Rehabilitation in burn patients is a benchmark due to return to pre-burn life. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of acute phase treatment approaches on creatine kinase and the musculoskeletal system in different types of burns.
The use of conditioning open-label placebo (COLP) will be studied as a dose extension method to lower opioid dosage in patients with spinal cord injury, polytrauma, and burn injury. The goal is to provide the same level of pain relief with a reduced opioid dose to diminish adverse effects as well as the risk of addiction associated with narcotic treatment.
Thirty patients with unilateral burn injury, and 60 healthy subjects will be included in this study. Participants with burn injury will evaluate with the following assessment tools: Demographic data; age, gender, height, body mass index; burn characteristics; type of burn injury, degree of burn injury, localization of burn injury and total burn surface area will be recorded. Gait parameters (step length, stride length, base support, step time, cycle time, cadence, velocity, single support, double support, swing ( % of gait cycle) and stance (% of gait cycle). will be recorded via computerized system. And gait symmetry will be calculated via formule. Participants' kinesiophobia level will be evaluated with Tampa kinesiophobia scale. Their pain will be assessed by visual analog scale. Their arm swing will be evaluated by a scale.
Compartment syndrome (CS) is a serious complication of soft-tissue injuries in patients with fractures of the musculoskeletal apparatus. CS is defined as a condition, during which an increased tissue pressure inside an enclosed compartment damages the microcirculation and neuromuscular function of the tissue, and results in ischemization, with a damage of nerve-muscle structures, which lead either to extensive flexion contractures, or myonecroses, with the need to perform an early amputation of the affected limb. In traumatology, compartment syndrome is most frequently observed in a patient with crural fractures, closed as well as open fractures, or in cases of crus laceration.
Major burn patients are characterized by large exudative losses of Cu, Se and Zn. Trace element (TE) repletion has been shown to improve clinical outcome. The study aimed to check if our repletion protocols were achieving normalization of TE plasma concentrations of major burn patients and if the necessity for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) might increase the needs.
This clinical trial is a Phase II controlled, parallel, open-label trial, designed to test the efficacy and safety of ALLO-ASC-DFU and conventional therapy in Deep Second-degree burn wound subjects.
In plastic and reconstructive surgery, treatment strategies of second-degree burns, superficial wounds, burn scars, flaps and chronic wounds aim at reducing infection and improving microcirculation. Although previous studies indicate that Plasma Therapy can accelerate wound healing, only a few studies focused on the elucidation of its mechanisms of action. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the microcirculatory effects of Plasma Therapy on second-degree burns, superficial wounds, burn scars, flaps and chronic wounds in a human in-vivo setting for the first time.
