Abstract

Septic shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are common complications that significantly increase mortality in patients with severe burns. Advances in hemodynamic resuscitation, rational antibiotic therapy, continuous blood purification using adsorptive membranes, prone-position ventilation with low tidal volumes, and the combined use of aerosolized and intravenous antibiotics in the treatment of pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria have markedly improved survival outcomes in severe burn patients.
