Conditions

Detailed Description

In the early period following severe burn injury volume replacement with high amounts of crystalloids is necessary. In this study we compare the organ function scores of a historical patient group, treated with Ringer's Lactate solution, with an actual patient population, treated with Ringer's Acetate solution.
