Judicious fluid resuscitation is critical; patients may become volume-deplete due to fluid loss/oedema secondary to burns. Deep tissue injuries may not be visible, and as muscle breaks down, it leads to myoglobinuria, rhabdomyolysis and renal failure. Narayanan, K., and Marijon, E., Electrical injury. and Trohman, R.G.,

And sepsis-3 redefined septic shock as “hypotension not responsive to fluid resuscitation” with the added requirement of vasopressors to maintain a MAP greater than or equal to 65 and with a lactate > 2. Let’s start with fluids. Patient’s need adequate fluid resuscitation. So quite a few changes!

This patient’s recent diarrheal illness raises suspicion for hypovolemia, which would be treated with fluid resuscitation (D) , but her moist oral mucosa and dilated inferior vena cava suggest an eu- or hypervolemic state. Additional fluids will not improve her condition and may worsen it. 2006 Jul;27(13):1523-9.
