Burns are one of the most devastating conditions encountered
in medicine. The injury represents an assault on all aspects of
the patient, from the physical to the psychological. It affects all
ages, from babies to elderly people, and is a problem in both
the developed and developing world. All of us have experienced
the severe pain that even a small burn can bring. However the
pain and distress caused by a large burn are not limited to the
immediate event. The visible physical and the invisible
psychological scars are long lasting and
often lead to chronic
disability. Burn injuries represent a diverse and varied challenge
to medical and paramedical staff. Correct management requires
a skilled multidisciplinary approach that addresses all the
problems facing a burn patient.
This series provides an overview of the most important
aspects of burn injuries for hospital and non-hospital
healthcare workers.
