Predicting the Outcome of Thermal Injury Based on the Dynamics of the Blood Sodium/Potassium Ratio

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In order to determine the prognostic value of the dynamics of the blood sodium/potassium ratio in critical conditions during thermal trauma, the concentration of electrolytes was retrospectively studied in 107 patients with a combustological profile, 64 with a fatal outcome, 43 with a favorable outcome. It was found that an increase in the blood sodium/potassium ratio above 39 in dynamics indicates the possibility of a fatal outcome of a patient with thermal injury in the next 7–10 days.
