Strategies for Wound Burn Healing
Main Article Content
Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that more than 11 million people sustain burns each year, leading to 180,000 deaths. A burn is a condition caused by heat, chemical agents, electrical currents, or other forces that damage tissue. Burns primarily affect the skin, but they may also involve deeper structures, such as bones and muscles. Upon combustion, the skin relinquishes its fundamental functions, including protection against environmental threats, infections, moisture loss, and thermal regulation. It is imperative to select the most appropriate therapy based on the burn's stage, the patient's health, and the burn's etiology. Personalization and interdisciplinary collaboration are crucial for the effective treatment of burn victims. This comprehensive study consolidates and analyzes the available treatment modalities, highlighting recent advancements in topical therapies, wound debridement, dressings, skin grafting, nutritional support, pain management, and scar tissue treatment.
