All maybe seen in deep burns except
Correct Answer: Hypehermia
Description: Burns may lead to hypothermia (not hypehermia). Schwaz writes - "Radiant heat loss is increased from the burn wound secondary to increased blood flow and integumentary loss." Heat loss also occurs because of evaporation of water from the burn wounds. This evaporation from wounds causes a significant fluid loss. About option 'b' & 'd', Sabiston writes "Significant burns are associated with the massive release of inflammatory mediators, both in the wound and in other tissues. These mediators produce vasoconstriction and vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, and edema locally and in distant organs." Ref : Harrison 17/e p135
