In real life, it is inevitable that some accidents occur. Burn is a serious accident, which will cause considerable harm to the body, and also cause considerable suffering to patients.

If the rescue is not timely, it may lead to some serious complications, and even shock, then it will give the patient life-threatening possibility. Let's find out the causes of burn shock?

What is the main cause of burn shock

The cause of burn shock may be hypovolemia. Because of the change of microcirculation caused by large area burn, the decrease of white blood cell deformation force and capillary impaction will form microthrombosis, which will reduce the effective circulating blood volume and cause shock.

The reason of burn shock may be caused by circulatory disorder. Shock usually occurs in a large area of severe burns. Due to the damage to the dermis, the amount of exudate from the inner cells that lose the protection of epidermal cells is large, resulting in more electrolyte loss, which leads to circulatory disorders in patients.

Burn shock may be caused by infection. Septic shock, also known as toxic shock, is caused by insufficient tissue blood perfusion. It is due to the circulation insufficiency caused by gram-negative bacilli infection, resulting in the decrease of blood output, which will lead to shock.

matters needing attention
