Gastric mucosal permeability in burned patients: Correlation with endoscopy

Eleven burned patients have been serially studied by measurement of gastric mucosal permeability (GMP) and fiberoptic endoscopy. At 20 days post-burn GMP was significantly less than at 48 hr or at 10 days. This supports the concept that increased back-diffusion of hydrogen ion plays a role in the pa...

Zusammenfassung:Eleven burned patients have been serially studied by measurement of gastric mucosal permeability (GMP) and fiberoptic endoscopy. At 20 days post-burn GMP was significantly less than at 48 hr or at 10 days. This supports the concept that increased back-diffusion of hydrogen ion plays a role in the pathogenesis of Curling's ulcer. The three patients with gastric erosions demonstrated the greatest GMP. There was no correlation between size of burn and risk of erosion.
