Severe burn injuries trigger complex physiological responses that extend far beyond the initial tissue damage, posing significant challenges for intensive care teams. In this webinar, experts will review the latest evidence, rationale, and clinical considerations for the use of high-dose vitamin C in the resuscitation of patients with severe burns, as well as the recognition, underlying mechanisms, differential diagnosis, and management of hyperpyrexia, a rare but life-threatening complication of severe burn injury.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Review the evidence and clinical considerations for high-dose vitamin C in severe burns
- Recognise and manage hyperpyrexia following severe burn injury
