Clinical Practice Guidelines Burn Wound Management
SummaryThis document was first created in 2006 and has been reviewed in 2009. It was developed by specialist staff working within the NSW Severe Burn Injury Service (SBIS) from the tertiary Burns Units at The Children's Hospital at Westmead, Royal North Shore Hospital and Concord Repatriation General Hospital. Burn Units provide specialist, multidisciplinary care in the management of burn injuries due to the continued reinforcement of treatment modalities, which is not readily available in outlying areas. Burn care involves high expense for wound management materials, staffing, equipment and long term scar management products. There are generally also long term issues arising from the initial trauma, resultant scars and the ongoing effects these have on the patient and their family. The guideline provides management advice for acute care and long term indications for burn patients outlining multidisciplinary requirements.
