Abstract:
Burn wound repair is an eternal issue for burn treatment. Ischemia and hypoxia caused by stress and wound inflammatory reactions to burn injuries are key factors of sepsis and organ complications. Therefore, the treatment of burn wound is not only relevant to repair of burn wound itself; early extensive escharectomy and wound coverage are also important measures for prevention and treatment of complications, such as sepsis and organ dysfunction. Besides the good vital supportive treatment such as circulation maintenance, coverage of open wounds with reliable skin substitutes is also the key point to ensure success of early extensive escharectomy.
