Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Management

Advances in the treatment and care of the burn wound have been largely responsible for the dramatic increase in the survival and recovery rates among burn patients. Concomitant advances in topical microbial control, surgical intervention, physiologic support, and associated research all have contributed to the development of contemporary burn wound management. Critical care nurses who incorporate these advances in their professional practice bring heightened knowledge and skill to the care of the bum wound and assist in the recovery of the bum-injured patient.
