Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Cardiovascular instability following burns may result from either cardiac or non-cardiac causes. We illustrate three cases in whom routine measurements of atrial filling pressures and cardiac output alone did not reflect the adequacy of blood volume or the myocardial performance. In each instance, measurements of ventricular volume and ejection fraction by thermodilution technique or 99mTC ventriculography were useful to determine the actual causes of decreased cardiac output.
