http://jimzlinks.blogspot.com/2007/11/burn-injury-equals-system-failure.html
Online Tools for Students of Nursing. Burn injury = system failure. With burns, especially large ones, it's not just about skin anymore. It's really a case of "all systems are NOT go.".

I've only picked a few resources this time, but they're good ones. The first.

jimZlinks: got acidosis....?
http://jimzlinks.blogspot.com/2007/12/got-acidosis.html
Online Tools for Students of Nursing. You know how to spot the difference between respiratory and metabolic acidosis. But how about the different causes of metabolic acidosis? Can an understanding of lab values give us clues to the cause? One of the clues is the "anion gap," the difference between positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions). The simple way to figure this is to add up the positive ions (Na, K) and subtract from this the sum of negative ions (Cl, HCO3). Anion gap: 141 - 129 = 12.
