BACKGROUND: Hypertrophic scarring is a deviate occurrence after wound closure and is a common burn sequela. The mainstay of scar treatment consists of a trifold approach: hydration, UV-protection and the use of pressure garments with or without extra paddings or inlays to provide additional pressure. Pressure therapy has been reported to induce a state of hypoxia and to reduce the expression pattern of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), therefore limiting the activity of fibroblasts...

BACKGROUND: Severely burned patients suffer from both coagulopathy and hypothermia, with a lack of international consensus and appropriate treatment guidelines. This study examines recent developments and trends in coagulation and temperature management in European burn centers. METHODS: A survey was sent to burn centers in Switzerland, Austria and Germany in 2016 and again in 2021. The analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, with categorical data reported in absolute numbers (n) and percentages (%) and numerical data reported as mean and standard deviation...

OBJECTIVE: Transcutaneous osseointegration for amputees (TOFA) surgically implants a prosthetic anchor into the residual limb's bone, enabling direct skeletal connection to a prosthetic limb and eliminating the socket. TOFA has demonstrated significant mobility and quality of life benefits for most amputees, but concerns regarding its safety for patients with burned skin have limited its use. This is the first report of the use of TOFA for burned amputees. METHODS: Retrospective chart review was performed of five patients (eight limbs) with a history of burn trauma and subsequent osseointegration...

BACKGROUND: Burn injuries in childhood create serious trauma for both children and their caregivers. Burn injuries require extensive nursing care to reduce complications and to restore optimal functional health conditions. When children receive burn treatment and their caregivers are migrants with different languages, religions, and habits, nurses must adopt a cultural approach while caring for such patients. AIM: This descriptive qualitative study aimed to reveal the challenges, expectations, and cultural care experiences of nurses regarding migrant children receiving burn treatment and their caregivers...

This study aims to identify residential fire risk factors and their health outcomes in terms of hospital admissions from burns and smoke inhalation together with related readmissions, length of hospital stay (LOS), costs of hospitalisation and mortality within 30 days of the fire incidence. Residential fire-related hospitalisations from 2005 to 2014 in New South Wales, Australia were identified using linked data. Univariate and multivariable Poisson regression analyses were performed to determine factors associated with residential fires on hospital admission and loss of life...

BACKGROUND: The role of exosomes in areas, such as skin wound healing, have been of consideratble interest recently. However, the effects of exosomes derived mainly from fibroblast cells on wound healing have yet to be documented well. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of exosomes derived from fibroblast cells on wound healing in Wistar rats. METHODS: Human fetal skin was isolated afterward centrifuge, and trypsin 0.1% was added to the cells after removing DPBS from the Falcon tube, and the trypsin was removed...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of hematocrit for monitoring fluid resuscitation of burn patients in the acute phase of their care. METHOD: We conducted a single-center retrospective study focused on patients admitted with a burn surface of more than 20 % of the total body surface area (TBSA) from 2014 to 2021. We investigated the relationship between the change in hematocrit and the volume administered for patient resuscitation. The change in hematocrit is the difference between an admission hematocrit and a second one taken between the eighth and twenty-fourth hour...

BACKGROUND: Several studies demonstrated that burn size calculations by referring clinicians are poor. The purpose of this study was to determine if inaccuracies in burn size estimation have improved with time within the same population, and whether widespread roll-out of a smartphone-based TBSA calculator (in the form of the NSW Trauma App) had an impact on accuracy. METHODS: A review of all burn-injured adult patients transferred to Burn Units from August 2015, following the roll out of the NSW Trauma App, to January 2021 was performed...

The present study aimed to investigate the appropriate timing of excision or skin grafting of burn wounds in patients with severe burns. We retrospectively analyzed data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination Database, a nationwide inpatient database in Japan. Patients with severe burns (burn index ≥10) who underwent excision or skin grafting within 7 days from September 2010 to March 2019 were included. We defined the early surgery group as patients who underwent excision or skin grafting within 2 days of admission and the delayed surgery group as those who underwent surgery within 3-7 days of admission...

Weight loss is difficult to quantify in critically ill burn patients, as the presence of edema can mask changes in dry body weight. We sought to estimate dry body weight using measured weights adjusted for reported extremity edema. We evaluated patients with at least 20% total body surface area (TBSA) burns admitted to our intensive care unit over a 3½-year period. Body weights were collected for this analysis from admission to the time of a recorded dry weight after wound healing. Extremity edema was collected at the time of each weight measurement and was categorized into three groups: (1) no edema, (2) 1 + pitting edema, (3) 2 + or 3 + pitting edema...

INTRODUCTION: Children are uniquely vulnerable to injury because of near-complete dependence on caregivers. Unintentional injury is leading cause of death in children under the age of 14. Burns are one of the leading causes of accidental and preventable household injuries, with scald burns most common in younger children and flame burns in older ones. Education is a key tool to address burn prevention, but unfortunately these injuries persist. Critically, there is a paucity of literature investigating adult comprehension with respect to potential risks of household burns...
