Pathophysiology of Burn Injuries

Abstract

The pathophysiology after burn is most central as it clearly affects post-burn outcomes. One of the major concerns is this response is extremely complex and an effective treatment to “normalize” this response is virtually impossible. But in order to improve outcomes and minimize adverse events profound understanding of the pathophysiology is imperative. This chapter will go into depth of not only pathology of each organ but also on systemic level and delineate burn-associated alterations.
