Where can I find sites about management of burn patients?


Nursing care of burn patients

Burns are injuries of skin or other tissue caused by thermal, radiation, chemical, or electrical contact. Burns are classified by depth (1st degree, partial thickness, and full thickness) and percentage of total body surface area (BSA) involved. Complications include hypovolemic shock, rhabdomyolysis, infection, scarring, and joint contractures. Patients with large burns (> 15% BSA) require fluid resuscitation. Treatments for burn wounds include topical antibacterials, regular cleaning, elevation, and sometimes skin grafting. Burns of joints require range-of-motion exercises and splinting.
Please see the web pages for more details on Burns (injury)
