Background: Acute kidney injury in severely burned |
|
patients is associated with high mortality. We wondered |
|
whether early use of continuous renal replacement therapy |
|
(CRRT) changes outcomes in severely burned military |
|
casualties with predetermined criteria for acute kidney |
|
injury. Methods: Between November 2005 and June 2007, |
|
casualties admitted to our burn intensive care unit after |
|
sustaining burns in Iraq and Afghanistan, who |
|
subsequently developed acute kidney injury or circulatory |
|
shock or both, underwent CRRT. Baseline demographic, |
|
laboratory, and hemodynamic parameters were recorded. |
|
Both 28-day mortality and in-hospital mortality were |
|
evaluated and compared with a consecutive group of burn |
|
casualties with greater than 40% total body surface area |
|
(TBSA) burns, acute kidney injury, or nephrology |
|
consultation in the 2 years before the existence of our |
|
CRRT program. Conclusion: Aggressive application of CRRT |
|
in severely burned casualties with kidney injury |
|
significantly improves survival. |
