Answer 1

Primary MODS is associated with maldistribution of blood flow, hypermetabolism, myocardial depression, and supply-dependent oxygen consumption. The progressive organ dysfunction of secondary MODS is the result of an excessive inflammatory reaction.

Answer 2

The three essential elements of survival after a major burn are (1) meticulous wound management, (2) adequate fluids and nutrition, and (3) early surgical excision and grafting.
