Abstract

This retrospective analysis showed that patients with severe burn injuries with a total burn area (TOA) of 20% > 50%, of which the area of deep burns (ADB) > 25%, were hospitalized in the period from January 2015 to December 2024, with a demographic indicator ranging from 7 to 75 days or a fatal outcome, beyond which burning factors, burning depth, attention is paid to the scale that determines the severity of burns (Frank index), which assesses the condition of organs and systems, the scale assessment (SOFA), as well as the set of symptoms that determine the severity of burn shock and the degree of penetrating respiratory damage. This also includes monitoring gastrointestinal dysfunction, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, bleeding from gastrointestinal ulcers, paralytic intestinal obstruction, enzymatic disorders, and the patient's length of stay in the hospital and intensive care units.
