Infection Control in Burn Patients
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1986The article primarily deals with infection control practices relating to the burn patient. Burn infections have an endogenous origin rather than an exogenous one. Infection control practices are similar to routine infection surveillance but are also distinctly different.

???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.

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.
