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 ...

???Burn Repeaters??? and Injury Control
Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, 1992The purposes of this study were (1) to identify the percentage of patients with burns or intergenerational family members who have had previous burn injuries that required hospitalization and (2) to assess the need for an inpatient burn prevention program for patients and families. This study revealed an increase from 8% to 19% "burn repeaters," with a

Feminist Criminology, 2008
Despite the interest in the interplay between subcultural attitudes, organizational structure, and high stress events, most research on police stress fails to address a fundamental concern—that of gender. In fact, the majority of research addressing officer stress fails to mention gender or concentrates on gender as a simple control variable. Data from

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.

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 ...

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.

A Distraction Technique for Control of Burn Pain
Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, 1992Research has indicated that analgesics alone do not adequately relieve pain for 75% of patients with burns. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a distraction therapy, in which videos were used in combination with administration of analgesics, on intensity and quality of pain and on levels of anxiety in adults during burn dressing ...

Adjunctive methods of pain control in burns
Burns, 1997Opiates remain the most common form of analgesic therapy in the burn patient today. Because of increased opiate requirements, optimal relief of burn pain continues to be a problem for these patients. The purpose of this article is to summarize those alternative pain control methods that appear in the literature.

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 ...
