-
Rationale for inclusion: Comparison of resuscitation endpoint paramenters; physiologic v classic (Parkland). Significant over resuscitation using physiologic parameters, suggesting "normal" is the wrong endpoint during a burn resuscitation.
CAVEAT: Small volume of patients

- J Burn Care Res. 2012 Jan-Feb;33(1):74-83.
-
Rationale for inclusion: PI project turned study evaluating effectiveness of nurse-driven resuscitation protocol for burns. Good evaluation of crystalloid vs colloid, discussion, etc.

- Electrocardiographic monitoring after electrical injury: necessity or luxury.
- Purdue GF, Hunt JL.
- J Trauma. 1986 Feb;26(2):166-7.
-
Rationale for inclusion: Report of 48 consecutive patients who sustained a high-voltage electrical injury. In this observational cohort, no patient with a normal EKG on admission had a serious arrythmia in the 24 hours of monitoring post-injury. This study informs current common practice at many centers across the country.
