Horrible way to die

It amazes me how some burns, though extensive, seem to me to be survivable but are in fact fatal.

Five-thousand two-hundred-sixty patients were admitted after burn injury from July 1989 to June 2009, and of those, 145 patients died after burn injury. Of these patients, 144 patients had an autopsy.

The leading causes of death over 20 years were sepsis (47%), respiratory failure (29%), anoxic brain injury (16%), and shock (8%). From 1989 to 1999, sepsis accounted for 35% of deaths but increased to 54% from 1999 to 2009, with a significant increase in the proportion due to antibiotic resistant organisms (P < 0.05).

Sepsis is the leading cause of death after burn injury. Multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria now account for the bulk of deaths due to sepsis. Further improvement in survival may require improved strategies to deal with this problem.

Burn injury is often followed by a profound hypermetabolic response that persists long after injury in those that survive [1,2]. The extent and duration of the response is related to the extent of the original burn injury sustained [2].

It is responsible for devastating muscle and protein catabolism, insulin resistance, and cardiac dysfunction that last for months after discharge, and significant growth retardation that impedes proper development [3,4].

Patients have supraphysiologic metabolic rates, multi-organ dysfunction, and increased inflammatory cytokines and acute phase proteins [4].

This response, which is mediated by 10- to 50-fold elevations in catecholamines, glucagon, and cortisol, leads to increases in morbidity and mortality [1,2,4,5]. Failure to attenuate the hypermetabolic response leads to irreparable damage and death.

Death must have been a relief.
