Early O.R.
What happens when the patient goes to the O.R.
during resuscitation (“early” O.R.)?
E.g., patient goes at 1348 and returns at 1748. The
patient received 4 units of whole blood, 2 units FFP,
5,000mL of LR, and had a UO of 200mL.
If the physician wants you to continue the Burn
Navigator after “early” O.R. excising, you can:
•
Do one fluid update at 1748 that covers the entire
OR time. Enter all the fluid and UO in that update.
The device will average the fluids over those 4 hours
and will provide a new recommendation.
•
Ask the doctor what rate to use after OR.
