The patient with severe burns always represents a challenge for the trauma team due to the severe biochemical and physiopathological disorders. Although there are many resuscitation protocols of severe burn patient, systemic inflammatory response, oxidative stress, decreased immune response, infections, and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes are still secondary complications of trauma, present at maximum intensity in this type of patients. Currently there are numerous studies regarding the evaluation, monitoring, and minimizing the side effects induced by free radicals through antioxidant therapy. In this study, we want to introduce biochemical and physiological aspects of oxidative stress in patients with severe burns and to summarize the biomarkers used presently in the intensive care units. Systemic inflammations and infections are according to the literature the most important causes of death in these type of patients, being directly involved in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and death.
