This textbook on burn care is focused specifically on the needs of
a surgeon. It provides a "how to do" text that presents the
practical strategies for initial resuscitation, skin grafting,
burn-specific critical care and ultimately guide the surgeon for
the best outcomes for the burn surgeon. It provides the reader with
basic pathophysiology but avoids a detailed review of the molecular
science of burns. Guidelines for basic care with the chapters
covering the timeline used for each patient spanning from initial
resuscitation (ABCs) to managing their re-socialization are
provided. The text covers the key components to the initial
management of the burn patient including airway, breathing and
circulation. The reader is introduced to the metabolic changes of a
major burn and how nutrition and pharmacologic manipulation affects
these systemic effects of a burn injury. The management of burn
sepsis as well as the basic concepts of wound healing of the
different depths and severity of burns are covered. Another chapter
covers the basic techniques of skin grafting, rehabilitation and
reconstruction with a focus to optimize the cosmetic and functional
outcome of the burn. Special chapters cover management of
outpatient burns and pediatric injuries. Special burns -
electrical, chemical, cold injuries and finally the treatment of
other diseases that lead to massive skin loss are covered. Special
considerations for pain, scar management, psychosocial recovery,
intentional burns, burn prevention and disaster preparation
complete the text. Burn Care for General Surgeons and General
Practitioners provides a reference for general and plastic surgeons
who are planning a career in burns. The textbook will also be a
straightforward resource for the general or plastic surgeon who
takes care of burns as part of their practice.
