Improving Survival: Infection Control and Burns
AACN Clinical Issues: Advanced Practice in Acute and Critical Care, 1993In the past, survival of the thermally injured patient was greatly hindered by invasive infection that originated in the burn wound. Current treatment modalities, including early excision of the burn wound and prompt wound closure, administration of systemic antibiotics and topical antimicrobial agents, and mechanical isolation, have improved survival.

Infection Control in a Burn Center
Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, 1990No consensus has been reached on the ideal isolation technique to prevent hospital-acquired infection in the patient with burns. This study reports four 2-month consecutive periods of microbial surveillance in a burn center intensive care unit. Phase I, the first period of surveillance, demonstrated a unit-acquired colonization rate of 63%, with the ...

Infection control in the burn unit
Burns, 2011The survival rates for burn patients have improved substantially in the past few decades due to advances in modern medical care in specialized burn centers. Burn wound infections are one of the most important and potentially serious complications that occur in the acute period following injury. In addition to the nature and extent of the thermal injury

Infection Control for the Burn Patient
Nursing Clinics of North America, 1980Infection control in the burn patient is dependent on the aseptic management of the wound and the environment of the patient, knowledgeable use of topical antibacterial agents, aggressive wound management, judicious use of systemic antibiotics, support of the deficient host defense system, maintenance of adequate nutrition, and close monitoring of ...

Control of infection following burn injury
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1971Infections continue to be the most important cause of death in patients with serious burns, and recent experience reveals that this complex problem has not been entirely solved by the use of effective antimicrobial agents. Despite the important role of certain documented, but presently untreatable abnormalities of host defense in the genesis of these ...

Baillière's Clinical Anaesthesiology, 1987
Summary Estimates concerning the current annual number and extent of injury of burn victims in the UK are given together with a brief review of burn epidemiology in other countries. The need for thorough bacteriological monitoring of burns is stressed.

Studies of Fusion Burn Control
Fusion Technology, 1993Findings from a general study of issues associated with operation control of burning fusion plasmas are reported, and applications to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) are given. A number of control variables are discussed.

The control of burn wound sepsis
Intensive Care Medicine, 1981This presentation reviews the course of burn wound sepsis in a group of 621 acute patients treated at the Shriners Burns Institute, Cincinnati Unit, between 1970 and 1976. During this period of time, the overall mortality rate fell from 14% in 1970 to 3 and 5%, respectively, in 1975 and 1976.

DEMO diagnostics and burn control
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2015The development of the control system for a tokamak demonstration fusion reactor (DEMO) faces unprecedented challenges. First, the requirements for control reliability and accuracy are more stringent than on existing fusion devices: any loss of plasma control on DEMO may result in a disruption which could damage the inner wall of the machine, while ...

Bacterial Control in the Burn Wound
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1979The goal in the treatment of septic burn wounds, as in any infection, is to reestablish the normal balance between the bacteria and the host defense. This is readily done by controlling the numerical level of bacteria while expending all efforts to remove irreversibly damaged tissue and obtaining a closed wound by autograft with the patient's own skin ...
