Early precise diagnosis and reasonable management of burn wound / 中华烧伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Early precise diagnosis and reasonable management of burn wound are the foundation of burn treatment. They determine not only the outcome of the wound but also the prognosis of the burn patient. This article expounds how to diagnose the burn wound objectively and precisely at early stage. On the other hand, the reasonable management such as cooling therapy, escharectomy or tangential excision, and negative pressure wound therapy in the early stage of burn wound is mainly discussed.
