Summary

This trial is testing two types of fluids, PlasmaLyte and Ringer's Lactate, to see which one helps severely burned patients recover better by replacing lost fluids and maintaining body balance. PlasmaLyte has limited research in burn resuscitation, and further studies are needed to determine its suitability compared to Ringer's Lactate.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for severely burned patients with more than 20% of their body area affected, who can have their first blood sample taken within the first 24 hours after being burned. They must be admitted to CHUM. People cannot join if they are pregnant, had recent radiotherapy or chemotherapy, suffer from severe infections or major organ dysfunctions, Hepatitis C, HIV, cancer, immunosuppression or autoimmune diseases.
What is being tested?
The study is testing two types of fluids used in early treatment: PlasmaLyte and Ringer's Lactate. It aims to see how these fluids affect inflammation in patients with severe burns by observing changes in immune response and determining which fluid better prevents complications like macrophage hyperactivation.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed for this trial since it focuses on inflammatory responses rather than drug reactions, generally fluid resuscitation may cause issues such as electrolyte imbalances or allergic reactions.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Ringer's LactateExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Seven (7) severely burned patients will be infused with Ringer's Lactate (following randomization) during the resuscitation period following admission to the ICU. 50mL of blood will be withdrawn before the first infusion and for the following days (Day 1-2-5 and 10) in order to isolate neutrophils and monocytes. Plasma will be preserved for future cytokines characterization.
Group II: PlasmaLyteExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Seven (7) severely burned patients will be infused with PlasmaLyte (following randomization) during the resuscitation period following admission to the ICU. 50mL of blood will be withdrawn before the first infusion and for the following days (Day 1-2-5 and 10) in order to isolate neutrophils and monocytes. Plasma will be preserved for future cytokines characterization.

Other Research
Fluid resuscitation is a critical treatment for burn patients, aiming to restore intravascular volume, improve tissue perfusion, and prevent shock. Common fluids used include PlasmaLyte and Ringer's Lactate. These solutions help to modulate the inflammatory response by maintaining electrolyte balance and preventing the hyperactivation of macrophages, which can lead to further tissue damage and systemic inflammation. Effective fluid resuscitation is essential for stabilizing burn patients, reducing the risk of multiple organ dysfunction, and improving overall outcomes.
