Background: Pneumonia contributes to post-burn morbidity and mortality. Understanding the mechanisms that predispose burn patients to pneumonia is crucial to both stratifying patients at increased risk and developing targeted interventions. Methods:...

Background: Burn patients can suffer prolonged hospital stays, infections, and wound breakdown. Given the complexity of burns, it is often difficult to determine which underlying factors contribute to complications. The Burn Care Quality Platform (BC...

The rehabilitation of burn patients is essential and is intrinsically linked to conventional rehabilitation; the motivational challenges faced by burn patients in maintaining engagement with these rehabilitation programs are well known. It is underst...

Background: The last decade has seen transformative changes in burn care, driven by advances in pharmacology, regenerative medicine, surgical techniques, and digital technologies. As management strategies evolve beyond survival to encompass functiona...

Background: Enzymatic debridement with Nexobrid (NXB) is established for burn care, but specific outcomes in the elderly remain poorly characterized. This study evaluates the safety, efficacy, and clinical outcomes of NXB in patients aged ≥65 year...

Background: Critical care for patients with severe burn injuries is challenging, particularly in the first 24–48 h. Multiple guidelines exist but their recommendations vary in content and in the level of detail. Methods: This narrative review a...

Introduction: Massive burns, particularly those exceeding 90% total body surface area (TBSA), represent one of the most demanding challenges in critical care and reconstructive surgery. Advances in resuscitation, early excision, and wound coverage te...

Background: Routine early surgery for all deep burns in low-resource settings is not currently achievable. We designed and implemented a simple triage strategy that selected patients to be prioritised for early surgery based on a more urgent need and...

Background: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technique capable of quantifying Blood Flow at Depth (BD) and the Attenuation Coefficient (AC). However, the clinical relevance of these parameters in burn assessment remains...

Burn injuries are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, largely due to complications such as infection. Impairment of the immune system following burns increases susceptibility to both internal and external infections, underscoring the need for e...
