One case of severe burn complicated with severe acute pancreatitis characterized by hypoglycemia / 中华烧伤杂志

A 44 years old male patient suffered from flame burn of 20% total body surface area was admitted to our hospital on February 14th, 2018. On admission, his abdominal CT was not obviously abnormal. Eleven hours after burn, the patient had left upper abdominal pain, accompanied by reduction of urine output. Then he suffered from sudden hypotension and hypoglycemia. Acute pancreatitis was diagnosed by abdominal CT reexamination. Low glucose level was ameliorated slowly through positive rescue, and pancreatitis crisis progressed rapidly. The family members gave up rescue care, and patient discharged. The case indicates that physicians should pay attention to glucose levels of severe burn patients, and be cautious of appearance of postburn pancreatitis.

Treatment and nursing of one patient with burns on perineal region and complicated by secondary multiple organ injuries by exposing to paraquat fluid / 中华烧伤杂志

On March 18, 2016, one 53 years old man with burns on perineal region and complicated by secondary multiple organ injuries by exposing to paraquat fluid was admitted to our department. Comprehensive treatment measures including protective mechanical ventilation, intensive care, vacuum sealing drainage, anti-infection, and organ protection were conducted sequentially. Through 33 days of comprehensive treatment and nursing, the patient′s condition substantially improved and he left hospital. This case presents that paraquat fluid absorption through skin and mucosa can also lead to severe systemic poisoning, and multiple organ protection is the key to improve the prognosis of this patient.
