Actual (reported)Methamphetamine and amphetamine has various cardiovascular and central nervous system effects. Long-term use is associated with many adverse health effects including cardiomyopathy, hemorrhagic, and ischemic stroke. Death is usually caused by cardiovascular collapse and while amphetamine abuse has been considered as a potential cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome, the reports are usually anecdotal. This investigation considers reviewing individuals with few to zero medical conditions who develop acute respiratory distress syndrome and are methamphetamine positive

Actual (reported)Inhalation Injury
Documentation on admission of inhalation injury as defined by burned nasal hairs, burned facial skin, and carbonaceous sputum after admission to the hospital within the first 24 hours.
24 hours
Total Burn Surface Area
The total burn surface area of the patient on arrival to the hospital assessed within the first 24 hours. With respect to the total burn surface area recorded only 2nd degree burns will be considered as defined as burns that affect the epidermis and dermis.
24 hours
Length of hospital stay
The total length of hospitalization of individuals with burns and acute respiratory distress syndrome with a max of 180 days from admission.
180 days
Stroke Volume
Measurement of cardiovascular parameter (stroke volume) of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and total burn surface area between 20%-60% in the first 5 days of admission to the hospital.
Patients admitted to the burn unit that are positive for amphetamine
Patients admitted to the burn unit that are negative for amphetamine
No Intervention

The study was completed at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center County Burn Center in Colton, California, which operates as the only burn center for San Bernardino, Inyo, Mono and Riverside Counties. ARMC covers one of the largest geographical areas in the United States. Due to the high prevalence of methamphetamine use, this location sees a high incidence of burn patients who either use amphetamine or are the result of methamphetamine lab explosions.
