The acute febrile response to burn injury in children may be modified by the type of intravenous fluid used during resuscitation — observations using fresh frozen plasma (FFP) or Hartmann's solution

Fever is a common clinical problem in burned children. The purpose of this study was to compare rectal temperature ( T r) in two groups of children with burns, ≥10% of the total body surface area (tbsa) who received fresh frozen plasma (FFP) or a crystalloid solution (Hartmann's) for restoratio...

Description
Summary:Fever is a common clinical problem in burned children. The purpose of this study was to compare rectal temperature ( T r) in two groups of children with burns, ≥10% of the total body surface area (tbsa) who received fresh frozen plasma (FFP) or a crystalloid solution (Hartmann's) for restoration of blood volume. Twelve to 16 h after the burn T r reached a peak. The children who had received FFP for restoration of blood volume had significantly higher fever than those children who received crystalloid solutions only.
