Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objective: o Assess the effect of the treatment of sinusal tachycardia with propranolol in the morbidity and mortality of the burned patient (sepsis, infections, necessity of inotropic agents, burn wound colonization). o Assess the effect of the treatment of sinusal tachycardia with propranolol on wound healing (graft intake and donor sites´ epithelialization). ;Main Objective: Assess the effect of treatment with propranolol in the adult burnt patient with sinusal tachycardia by measuring its effect on the resting energy expenditure. ;Primary end point(s): Resting energy expenditure and respiratory quotient (VCO2/VO2);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1.At the time of admission 2. Daily until 2 weeks post injury | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): -HR and BP -Caloric intake -Need of sedoanalgesia -Inotropic agents -Days of inotropic agents administration -Number of surgical procedures needed -Healing time for donor sites -Graft intake 5 days after surgery -Burn wound colonization -Burn wound infection or donor site infection -Other infections -Sepsis -Mortality ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1.At the time of admission 2.
