These notes cover the full scope of anesthetic management of burns as expected for an MD Anaesthesiology examination. Here's a quick orientation:
What's covered (15 sections):
  1. Classification (depth, extent, TBSA methods)
  2. Pathophysiology (ebb/flow phases, Jackson's zones, systemic effects)
  3. Inhalation injury (types, CO/HCN toxicity, diagnosis, treatment)
  4. Fluid resuscitation (Parkland formula, fluid creep, ACS monitoring)
  5. Preoperative assessment (Box 83.3 checklist)
  6. Airway management (phases, techniques, ETT fixation)
  7. Vascular access
  8. Intraoperative monitoring
  9. Pharmacokinetic principles (protein binding, phase-dependent changes)
  10. Drug-specific considerations (succinylcholine contraindication, NDMR resistance, ketamine)
  11. Surgical procedures and intraoperative management (blood loss, hypothermia)
  12. Pain management (multimodal, regional)
  13. Special situations (pediatric, electrical, chemical, CO poisoning)
  14. Post-op/ICU care
  15. Summary pharmacology table + 12 high-yield exam points
The most commonly examined areas in MD theory exams are: succinylcholine contraindication and its mechanism, Parkland formula, biphasic response, ketamine as drug of choice, and NDMR resistance — all covered in depth here.
