ConvaTec - Burns wound treatment

An introduction to burns:

Most are minor and are managed in the community or accident and emergency departments, but some can be devastating to the patient.

 

Partial-thickness burns are rarely life-threatening but morbidity can be extensive, and the focus of management should be improved outcomes.

Partial-thickness burns can be associated with:

• Pain - in some cases severe
• Increased risk of infection
• Scarring and functional impairment
• Psychological trauma for the patient

---

The AIMS OF BURN MANAGEMENT are to:

• Avoid infection
• Reduce pain
• Promote effective wound healing
• Minimize scarring and psychological trauma
• Restore or replace damaged skin and normal movement

Assessing & managing burn injuries

For best patient outcomes partial-thickness burns should be properly managed in non-specialist centers, with referrals to burns units being reserved for appropriate cases.

...However, the identification of appropriate referrals can sometimes be problematic, and the clinical management of partial-thickness burns by non-specialists can have variable results."

There is some agreement on the management of superficial burns and full-thickness burns, but partial-thickness burns, and in particular those of mixed depth, present a greater challenge in defining the optimal treatment.
