Expert consensus on early treatment of deep electric burn wound / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Electric burn is a kind of severe burn with a high disability rate. Although some experience in the diagnosis and treatment of electric burn has been accumulated over the years, there still lacks consensus on a standard treatment of the electric burn wound. To improve the treatment level and the life quality of electric burn patients, the Burns and Trauma branch of Chinese Geriatrics Society and the Expert Committee of Standardization Construction of Wound Repair Department under Chinese Medical Doctor Association have made the consensus on electric burn wound management and repair according to relevant research reports at home and abroad. In this consensus, the standardized wound repair measures of electric burns are systematically introduced from the aspects of injury mechanism, pathophysiological changes, clinical manifestations and diagnosis of wounds, debridement and repair, and matters needing attention, so as to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
