Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over 11 million individuals get burns annually, resulting in 180,000 fatalities. A burn is a condition resulting by heat, chemical agents, electrical currents, or other forces that inflict tissue damage. Burns primarily impact the skin, however they may also include deeper structures, including bones and muscles. Upon combustion, the skin forfeits its primary functions, including protection against the external environment, infections, moisture evaporation, and thermal regulation. Based on the burn's stage, the patient's health, and the burn's etiology, it is essential to choose the most suitable therapy. Personalization and interdisciplinary teamwork are essential for the effective therapy of burn victims. This thorough study compiles and examines the existing treatment modalities, emphasizing current advancements in topical therapies, wound debridement, dressings, skin grafting, nutritional support, pain management, and scar tissue therapy.
