Early Renal Replacement Therapy and Total Body Wrap Topical Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Severe Burns and Rhabdomyolysis: A Case Report

Abstract

Severe burns, especially with acute kidney injury (AKI) and rhabdomyolysis, are strongly associated with morbidity and mortality. We highlight a successful case salvaged with a combination of early renal replacement therapy (RRT) and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) total body wrap (TBW) in a case involving 38% total body surface area (TBSA) burns with rhabdomyolysis.
