    AbstractThe number of cases of mortality after burn injury continues to decline, in part because of advances in respiratory, fluid, and sepsis management. However, care needs to be exercised in the application of these new techniques and technologies, many of which have never been assessed or have been incompletely studied in patients who have burn injury. Use of any of these advances in critical care needs to be individualized for any given patient and altered based on the patient's response to therapy. Future advances in the critical care of burns will require multicenter prospective trials at dedicated burn centers to define the optimal therapy for the patient who has burn injury.
