ABSTRACT
A queimadura é dos acidentes mais frequentes em Pediatria, com altas taxas de mortalidade.As complicações mais frequentes são o choque hipovolêmico, a desnutrição progressiva e as infecções. Este artigo faz uma revisão sobre a abordagem do choque hipovolêmico na criança queimada em relação à sua fisiopatologia e as diversas modalidades de tratamento, discutindo as suas vantagens e desvantagens.
Burns are the most frequent accidents in Pediatrics, with high mortality rates. The most frequent complications are a hypovolemic shock, progressive malnutrition, and infections.This article is a review of the hypovolemic shock approach in the burned child in relation to his pathophysiology and the various treatment modalities, discussing their advantages and disadvantages.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical therapeutic effect of the vacuum-sealing drainage (VSD) combining with skin graft in a deep burn wound.Methods Sixty one patients were divided into two groups according to treatment method.Thirty tree patients were assigned as the VSD treatment group,which was treated by VSD after debridement; their wounds were transplanted by the split thickness skins binding up by VSD when they were fitted.Twenty eight patients were assigned as the routine treatment group,which was treated by means of traditional regular dressing change to remove necrotic tissue and promote granulation tissue; their wounds were transplanted by the split thickness skins binding up by packing when they were fitted.Results After treatment by VSD,there are no systemic hypersensitivity reactions and abnormal bleeding.Thirty three cases of VSD treatment group were treated by VSD for 7 ～ 10 days,the other 2 cases were treated by VSD for another 7 ～ 10 days because of granulation tissue badly.Until their granulation was fresh,skin grafting technique was used and the skin survived well.The treatment time before skin grafts,the pain score,and the cost of ablative therapy for wound were ( 8 ± 0.9) day,(5.7 ± 1.6) point,and ( 1.5 ± 0.4) ten thousand yuan in VSD group vs.( 14 ± 1.2) day,(3.1 ± 1.1 ) point,and (0.6± 0.2)ten thousand yuan in control group.The survival rate and the wound germiculture positive rate were 97.0％ and 6.5％ in the VSD group vs 75.0％ and 28.6％ in the control group.The differences between groups were statistically significant ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions VSD is a simple method that is easy to grasp,and that can promote granulation tissue growth,reduces the wound germiculture positive rate,shortens the wound healing period,increases the survival rate of skin grafts,and relieves patients 'pain.It is worth popularizing and applying in the deep burn wound therapy.

O presente artigo tem por objetivo fazer uma abordagemdo choque hipovolêmico na criança queimada. Discutem-se a fisiopatologia, as diversas modalidades de tratamento propostas na literatura e as vantagens e desvantagens de cada uma. Foi realizada revisão da literatura, abrangendo as bases de dados MEDLINE, LILACS e Cochrane Library, utilizando os descritores burn, fluid resuscitation,shock e child, no período de 1993 a 2008...
Burning is one of the most common causes of accidents in pediatrics, with high rates of mortality. The most common complications are hypovolemic shock, progressive malnourishment and infections. This article describes an approach to the hypovolemicshock in the burned child. The pathophysiology, the various types of treatment used andits vantages and disadvantages are described here. A literature review was performed, comprising MEDLINE, LILACS and Cochrane Library databases with the keywords burn,fluid resuscitation, shock and child, from 1993 to 2008...
