Terbutaline, however, fails to prevent edema 4 hours after thermal injury although the increase of leg volume (24%) is less than in the untreated, burned control leg (56%). A higher dose of terbutaline (15 micrograms/min) also fails to block edema 4 hours after burning and its effect on leg volume, lymph flow, and lymphatic protein concentration is similar to that of 5 micrograms/min infusion. Terbutaline does not alter the extent of tissue injury after burning as the increase in tissue fluid lactic dehydrogenase and potassium are similar with "treated" and "untreated" burns.</p>}, month = {7}, pages = {76-81}, issn = {2522-7963}, publisher={International Society of Lymphology and the University of Arizona Libraries}, journal = {Lymphology} }
