Cardiac Arrhythmias and Dysfunction in the Pediatric Burn Patient

The investigators hope to learn the following:

- If heart arrhythmias are more common in children with a large burn injury than in
children with a small burn injury.

- The difference in development of a heart arrhythmia after a large burn injury by
comparing information from children with large burns who do and do not develop a heart
arrhythmia.

- A better understanding of the length of a hospital stay, the number of operations, and
the number of care complications in patients with heart arrhythmias after a burn injury.

Inclusion Criteria:

Pediatric burn patients from age 0 - 18 who have sustained a burn injury will be eligible
for this study.

Group 1 will consist of patients with ≥30% TBSA burn injury. Group 2 will consist of
patients with <30% TBSA burn injury who develop a cardiac abnormality.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients with pre-existing cardiac disorder, desquamative skin disorders and electrical
injury.
