First aid and outpatient burn care
- Oddělení popáleninové medicíny a rekonstrukční chirurgie FN Ostrava
Burn trauma can be treated both on an outpatient basis and during hospitalization. Severity factors such as depth, extent and location of the burn, mechanism of injury, comorbidity, age of patients, combined injuries determine the method of treatment and the type of medical facility competent to provide the correct therapy. Adequately provided first aid, both medical and non-medical, affects the prognosis of burns. Subsequent local care and early recognition of possible complications eliminates permanent consequences in the form of scars. The following text deals with the above-mentioned topics with the aim of bringing the comprehensive care of a burn patients closer to ambulatory doctors.
Keywords: cooling, burn extent, total body surface area (TBSA), depth, localization, scar.
