    AbstractA prospective study was carried out on 57 patients with total burned surface area (TBSA) over 30%. It was found that myocardial damage occurred early postburn, which was one of the major causes of cardiac dysfunction and failure. The postburn respiratory failure (RF) might be classified into three patterns. The etiology of each pattern varied. The imbalance between thromboxane and prostacyclin in plasma and visceral tissues played important roles in the genesis and development of postburn MOF as well as the causes of pathophysiological alterations in the main factors (including inhalation injury, severe shock and systemic infection) which contributed to occurrence of visceral damage and MOF.
