Nausea and vomiting after burns

Nausea and vomiting after burns are one of the early symptoms of burn shock. A common cause is also cerebral hypoxia. The vomit is usually the contents of the stomach. In severe shock, there may be brown or bloody vomit, which indicates that the mucosa of the digestive tract is severely congested, edema or erosion. Excessive vomiting should consider acute gastric dilatation or paralytic intestinal obstruction.
