A practical approach to the treatment of burn shock in childhood.
A simple method of evaluating and treating burn shock has been used with very good results and low mortality. The amounts of fluids given in a specific time and the type of fluids given are dependent upon the evaluation of a few simple observations. We believe that shock is a treatable condition and that 'shock kidney' is preventable. We stress the difficulty of trying to compare the results of two different burn units.
