In the United States alone, burns are the third leading cause of
death among children 0 to 14 years of age. In addition, each year
greater than 125,000 children suffer serious burn injuries, with a
disturbing percentage of those through abuse. Yet the number of
specialized burn centers in the U.S. is not near enough to be in
proximity or even accessible to the majority of these patients. The
situation is even worse in most other regions of the world.
Therefore, it is critical that the information in this book reaches
as many caregivers as possible because treatment of burn injuries
has undergone dramatic changes over time in every area, from
surgical procedures to respiratory and fluid resuscitation and even
nourishment and metabolic support. The ability to recognize and
react appropriately to pediatric injury can greatly affect the
outcome and prognosis, up to and including the patient's future
quality of life. It is in this context that this comprehensive
guide for the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of the burned
child from Time Zero through Long-term Rehabilitation was put
together. This book is essential for the medical professional
involved in attaining the most positive outcome possible for their
patients and their families.
