Outpatient burn management

Petra M Warner et al. Surg Clin North Am. 2014 Aug.

Abstract

Most burn patients have injuries that may be treated on an outpatient basis. Newer silver-based dressings and improved medications for the treatment of pain and pruritus have led to further growth of outpatient care. The final barrier of distance from the burn center will decrease with the growth of telemedicine. It is incumbent for burn centers to develop outpatient guidelines to facilitate this growth of outpatient care.

Keywords: Burn; Burn dressings; Burn wound infection; Outpatient care; Pain; Pruritus.
