Abstract

Pharmacotherapy interventions following thermal or inhalation injury remain an underrepresented area of focus in the literature, with studies dispersed across a broad array of journals. This review builds upon several years of previous efforts to highlight and summarize the most recent, quality pharmacotherapy-focused studies in the context of thermal and inhalation injuries. Twenty-five geographically dispersed, board-certified pharmacists participated in the review. A Medical Subject Heading-based, filtered search resulted in 2234 manuscripts over the previous 2-year period. After manual review, 78 (3.5%) manuscripts were determined to have a potential impact on current pharmacotherapy practice. Summaries of the 10 articles scored to have the highest impact are included in this review. There exists a continued need for high-impact research addressing pharmacotherapeutic strategies in the management of patients with thermal and inhalation injuries.
