Addressing the Critical Needs of Children
Survival rates for burn victims have improved dramatically over the past 40 years. Doctors and scientists at Shriners Hospitals are responsible for many of the advances in pediatric burn care. Studies underway encompass everything from how the body reacts to severe stress to diagnostic tools that can be used at the bedside when treating critically injured children. Topics under investigation include Individual Response to Drugs, Organ Failure, Environmental Influences and Bedside Diagnostics.
