Nursing during the burn shock period

1. Nursing assessment ① Whether there is respiratory insufficiency: mouth breathing, hoarseness, gong sounds in the lungs, progressive cyanosis, etc. ② Whether there is insufficient blood volume: impaired consciousness, thirst, decreased blood pressure, weak pulse, low skin temperature, oliguria, etc.

2. Nursing measures

(1) Respiratory tract care: Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed and use an airway or tracheal intubation; if carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected, pure oxygen should be given; maintain good Position, turn over regularly, encourage deep breathing and expectoration, and suction if necessary.

(2) Fluid rehydration monitoring: Avoid drinking water after injury to prevent acute gastric dilatation and gastric bleeding. If thirst is severe, take burn drink orally under close observation. Develop a fluid rehydration plan based on the calculated fluid volume and implement it within 1 hour after injury. The following are simple and valuable evaluation criteria for fluid therapy: ① The casualty is conscious, quiet, has no obvious thirst, and is breathing steadily. ②Systolic blood pressure>11.0kPa, pulse pressure>2.66kPa. ③Adult pulse rate score, strong. ④Urine output should be >30ml/h for adults, >20ml/h for children, and >1ml (kg.h) for infants; for those with hemoglobinuria, the urine output should be >50ml/h; but for patients with cardiovascular disease and elderly patients, the urine output should be >20ml /h is enough. ⑤The blood electrolyte value is normal collected from the examination website. ⑥No symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and abdominal pain.

2. Nursing measures

(1) Control infection: strict isolation, aseptic operation; preventive application of antibiotics and TAT; conduct wound and blood cultures regularly and at any time; conduct careful Treat the wounded with personal hygiene; once sepsis occurs, treat it as systemic purulent infection.

(2) Prevent and treat gastrointestinal complications: perform gastrointestinal decompression early and monitor gastric juice; correct blood volume deficiency; give antacids and histamine H2 receptor antagonists; once gastric In case of bleeding, give gastric lavage with ice salt water, hemostatic drugs, and fresh blood transfusion.
