These are comprehensive MD Anaesthesiology exam notes on anesthetic management of burns, drawn directly from Miller's Anesthesia (10e), Morgan & Mikhail's Clinical Anesthesiology (7e), and Barash Clinical Anesthesia (9e). Here's what's covered:
  1. Epidemiology & Classification — degrees of burns, Rule of Nines, Lund-Browder for children
  2. Pathophysiology — two-phase model (ebb/burn shock vs. hypermetabolic/flow phase), local burn zones
  3. Inhalation Injury — three types, diagnosis (flexible bronchoscopy gold standard), clinical indicators
  4. CO & Cyanide Poisoning — HbCO levels/effects, unreliable pulse oximetry, management with HBO
  5. Fluid Resuscitation — Parkland formula (4 mL/kg/%TBSA), fluid creep, ACS (bladder pressure >20 mmHg), colloid vs. crystalloid
  6. Airway Management — early vs. delayed intubation, AFOI, RSI technique, protective ventilation
  7. Muscle Relaxants — succinylcholine contraindicated after 48 h (lethal hyperkalaemia up to K⁺ 13 mEq/L), NDNMB resistance >25% TBSA, duration of risk up to 2 years
  8. Pharmacokinetics — altered Vd, hypoalbuminaemia, hypermetabolic clearance
  9. Preoperative Assessment — history, examination, investigations
  10. Intraoperative Management — temperature (OR at 40°C), ketamine as drug of choice, monitoring, muscle relaxant protocol
  11. Special Situations — escharotomy, excision/grafting, dressing changes
  12. Paediatric Considerations — dextrose supplementation, higher UO target
  13. Postoperative/ICU Care — ventilation, nutrition, infection control
  14. Electrical Burns — rhabdomyolysis, cardiac arrhythmias
  15. High-Yield Exam Summary Table — all key numbers and facts in one place
