A review of Twenty-nine articles queried for “Burn” and “Abdominal Compartment Syndrome“ from The National Library of Medicine (PUBMED). One aspect of initial burn therapy is volume resuscitation. fluid administration in the early management of burns is saving lives, particularly by preventing acute kidney injury.

As a result, co-morbidities following burn injury shifted from acute kidney injury to pulmonary edema, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and secondary abdominal compartment syndrome, all possible side effects of high-volume fluid resuscitation.

Abdominal pressure monitoring is appropriate in all patients with burns that require significant volume resuscitation.
