This
in depth section includes a number of Educational Modules and
their overview. These modules are being designed and produced
by our Editors. They
include the state-of-the-art discussions on Burn and Wound
care. If you have questions or would like to get in touch with

I. Initial
Management of the Burn Patient
(Click
the Link above to Enter the Module)
The focus of
this module is the management decisions made during the first
24 hours. Airway, circulatory and burn wound management is
discussed, including chemical and electrical burns.
Part I
Summary Section
is designed for rapid decision making using algorithms and
visuals.
Part II In
depth Section
is designed to discuss in much greater depth the pulmonary,
circulatory and wound care problems and the decision making.
II. The
Burn Wound
(Click

This module
describes the pathogenesis and treatment of the burn wound
from initial presentation to wound closure. Included are
discussions of the most current wound care treatment
modalities.
III. Metabolism
and Nutrition
This module
presents the metabolic response to burn injury and the
required nutrition support.
The
metabolic response module
focuses on the hyper metabolic and catabolism "stress
response" to injury and it’s complications.
The
nutrition wound module
discusses the approaches to determine nutrient needs, optimal
nutritional delivery and assessment.

This module
focuses mainly on the relationship of involuntary weight loss
and wound healing. Both processes are critical to the injured
patient where weight loss and wounds are characteristics.
Nutrition and anabolic solutions are provided.
IV. Anabolic
Strategies
(Click

This
module is dedicated to anticatabolic and anabolic approaches to
controlling and reversing the catabolic response to injury.
Anticatabolic and anabolic agents proven to be beneficial are
highlighted.
V. Pulmonary
Problems
(Click

This three
part series describes the pulmonary problems most commonly
seen in the burn patient and then treatment.
Part I
focuses on initial pulmonary problems with emphasis on airway
management and smoke inhalation injury.
Part II
focuses on the pulmonary problems most commonly seen during
the first week which includes progression of inhalation injury
and pulmonary edema.
Part III
focuses on the pulmonary problems seen during the peak
inflammatory or hypermetabolic state which includes pneumonia,
ARDS and hypermetabolism induced fatigue.
