Burn wound pathophysiology and care
Abstract
The pathophysiology of the burn injury and treatment factors that influence burn depth are explained. Details of burn wound care, including indications for early excision, topical antimicrobials, and the most recent advances in skin substitutes, are described. Burn wound sepsis, the most common and serious complication, is discussed in regard to diagnosis and treatment.
