Advanced Burn Wound Care: Dressing Techniques & Nutritional Support

Understanding Burn Wound Classifications & Healing Phases

Burn Depth Classification (WHO Standards)

• First-Degree (Superficial Burns): Affects epidermis only; mild erythema and pain. Healing in 3–7 days with non adhesive wound dressing.
• Second-Degree (Partial-Thickness): Involves dermis; requires burn sterile dressing to avoid infection.
• Third-Degree (Full-Thickness): Penetrates full skin layers; treated with burn wound care dressings and possibly surgery.

Burn Healing Stages & Clinical Implications

1. Inflammatory Phase (0-72 hrs): Control infection with antimicrobial dressings.
2. Proliferative Phase (3–21 days): Maintain moist environment using alginate or hydrocolloid.
3. Maturation Phase (Weeks–months): Scar management with silicone dressings.

Evidence-Based Dressing Selection Protocol

Sterile Dressing Fundamentals

Burns raise infection risk. Non-sterile dressings raise mortality by 17% (J Burn Care Res 2021).

Non-Adhesive Dressing Advantages

• Reduces trauma during re-epithelialization
• Improves pain control (VAS scale)

Recommended: CEEPORT Hydrocolloid Wound Dressings – Gentle for fragile skin.
