Objective
Early intervention with appropriate first aid following burn injury improves clinical outcomes. Previous evidence suggests geographic remoteness may be a barrier to receiving appropriate burns first aid. This study investigated the prevalence of gold standard first aid in patients managed in Australian burn services and whether geographic remoteness was associated with receiving gold standard...
Burn care is an area which has advanced relentlessly over the past decades with improved survival and quality of survival. However, there are many challenges which overshadow the successes. The translation of what we know into clinical practice remains a challenge due to issues on many levels from overcoming personal opinion to resource allocation. We live in a time of exponential increase in knowledge...
Loss of sensory function in scar after burn is common, although the basis for this loss is not clear. Additionally, little is known about the effects of different treatment modalities on sensory function and neuroanatomical outcomes in burn patients. Here, we investigated the effects of the use of the INTEGRA ® dermal scaffold on neuroanatomy and sensory function in acute burn patients.We...
The importance of vitamins for optimal metabolism is well established. However, currently little is known about the optimal vitamin levels required for burn patients. As a consequence, current practice both for macronutrient supplementation and vitamin supplementation varies widely between burn units. A better understanding of the effects of vitamins on metabolism may lead to better nutrition and...
This prospective study examined the extent to which the personality traits neuroticism, extraversion and agreeableness and coping styles approach, avoidant and ambivalent contribute to the development of depressive symptoms in adult burns survivors at three months post-injury. Participants were 70 adult burns survivors admitted to Royal Perth Hospital in Western Australia between June 2007 and February...
Scarring after severe burn is a result of changes in collagen deposition and fibroblast activity that result in repaired but not regenerated tissue. Re-epithelialisation of wounds and dermal cell repopulation has been thought to be driven by cells in the periphery of the wound. However, recent research demonstrated that cells originating from the bone marrow contribute to healing wounds in other tissues...
Integra ® is a skin substitute used for dermal reconstruction. Current clinical practice consists of two procedures, first applying Integra ® to the wound and then replacing the silicone pseudo-epidermis with an epidermal autograft 3 weeks later. This two-step repair limits the clinical use of the product. An effective one-step procedure could reduce the time taken to repair and decrease...
