AB KEY  POINTSCare  of  the  severely  burned  patient  requires  prompt  resuscitation  and  definitive  surgical  management.Patients  with  major  burns  (≥  25%  total  body  surface  area)  require  management  in  an  intensive  care  unit.Burn  survival  correlates  with  3  major  factors:  patient  age,  burn  size,  and  presence  of  inhalation  injury.Acute  renal  failure  may  result  from  severe  hemodynamic  instability,  delayed  or  inadequate  resuscitation  during  the  initial  burn  treatment,  or  later  as  a  result  of  sepsis  or  rhabdomyolysis.Compartment  syndrome  in  the  extremities,  torso,  or  abdomen  have  been  linked  to  the  presence  of  deep,  full-thickness  circumferential  burns  and  to  the  volume  resuscitation.
