Abstract
Fever is a common clinical problem in burned children. The purpose of this study was to compare rectal temperature (T(r)) in two groups of children with burns, > or =10% of the total body surface area (tbsa) who received fresh frozen plasma (FFP) or a crystalloid solution (Hartmann's) for restoration of blood volume. Twelve to 16 h after the burn T(r) reached a peak. The children who had received FFP for restoration of blood volume had significantly higher fever than those children who received crystalloid solutions only.
