Urinalysis
❖ A urinalysis is a test of your urine. It's used to detect and manage a wide range of disorders, such
as urinary tract infections, kidney disease and diabetes. A urinalysis involves checking the
appearance, concentration and content of urine (Mayo Clinic, 2021).
● Kidney function may be altered as a result of decreased blood volume due to the compensatory
response to intravascular volume loss. Destruction of red blood cells at the injury site results in
free hemoglobin in the urine. If muscle damage myoglobin is released from the muscle cells and
excreted by the kidneys causing the urine to be red. If there is inadequate blood flow through
the kidneys caused by the hemoglobin and myoglobin occluding the renal tubules, acute tubular
necrosis and acute kidney injury can occur(Hinkle & Cheever, 2018).
● Urinalysis is done to determine the presence of myoglobin or hemoglobin in the urine that can
indicate kidney damage.
● Brown or red to amber colored transparent urine can be seen.
Electrocardiogram
❖ An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple test that can be used to check the heart's rhythm
and electrical activity. Sensors attached to the skin are used to detect the electrical signals
produced by your heart each time it beats. These signals are recorded by a machine and
are looked at by a doctor to see if they're unusual (National Health Service, 2021).
● An ECG is obtained to assess for cardiac dysfunction to prevent further damage and
complications to the heart.
● In patients with extensive burns, modified the ECG electrode by welding the ECG button
to a crocodile clip. The ECG lead is then joined to this electrode and the crocodile clip is
attached to the staples (Ravindran, 1997).
Stool for occult blood test
❖ The stool guaiac test looks for hidden (occult) blood in a stool sample. It
can find blood even if you cannot see it yourself. It is the most common
type of fecal occult blood test (MedlinePlus, 2021).
Negative
● -No blue colour on or at the edge of the stool sample
How is Stool Guaiac test performed? (Beckman Coulter, January)
○ A doctor may collect a small amount of stool -No blue streaks
○ A small amount of stool is smeared on a test card
○ Application of 1 drop of developer to the center of each test field.
○ Continue applying a second drop of developer to each test field.
○ For larger samples, add more drops of developer.
○ Observe the test fields for up to 60 seconds.
○ Apply only one drop of developer to the Performance monitor. Read
within 10 seconds.
Positive
-Blue color on or at the edge of the stool sample
-Blue radial streaks starting at the stool sample.
Stool for occult blood test
● Most common GI alterations in patients with burns are paralytic ileus
(absence of intestinal peristalsis), Curling’s ulcer, and translocation of
bacteria. The most common is there may be decreased perfusion and
increase in acid production due to the stress response of the body. This Negative
makes perfect conditions or an ulcer to develop specifically in the -No blue colour on or at the edge of the stool sample
-No blue streaks
duodenum. Curling's ulcer is an acute peptic ulcer of the duodenum
resulting as a complication from severe burns when reduced plasma
volume leads to sloughing of the gastric (Hinkle & Cheever, 2018).
● Stool for occult blood test is done to identify if the patient developed
peptic ulcer as occult blood in the stool suggest gastric or duodenal
erosion
Positive
-Blue color on or at the edge of the stool sample
-Blue radial streaks starting at the stool sample.
Capillary Blood Glucose Test
❖ Capillary blood glucose is a convenient way to monitor the blood glucose
level.
❖ The procedure involves pricking the finger with a lancet and putting the blood
on a glucose meter strip. The strip is usually already inserted into the machine.
Your results will show on the screen.
