This case report discusses the individualised care and rehabilitation provided to a burn patient with a learning disability. The patient suffered both full and partial thickness burns equating to a total body surface area (%TBSA) of 7% of the face, neck, and anterior chest via the self-ignition of clothing. Acute treatment was provided at a regional burn unit followed by further in-patient care and rehabilitation at our burn facility. A motion rehabilitation instrument was employed to manage potential orofacial contracture; however, due to the patient's impaired social functioning, this device was found to be unsuitable. Subsequently, a bespoke mouth-opening device replicating an ice lolly was fabricated utilising computer-aided design (CAD), enhancing the patient's understanding along with encouraging independence.

The APL also includes a Distress Thermometer and a question inquiring about preference to discuss the results with a healthcare provider. Subsequently, the APL was completed by 102 outpatients. To test face validity, a linear regression analysis showed that problems in three health domains, i.e., scars, mental health, and body perceptions, were significantly related to higher distress.

Analyzing data from a multicenter longitudinal database (2015-2023), self-reported vocal changes were examined at discharge and 6, 12, 24, and 60 months after injury. Out of 582 participants, 65 reported voice changes at 12 months. Changes were prevalent at discharge (16.4%) and persisted over 60 months (11.6-12.7%).

The positive psychosocial and physiological effects of occupation-based interventions, fundamental to the profession, have long justified its relevance to the military. As such, occupational therapy has been written into US Army doctrine as an integral component of the Combat and Operational Stress Control (COSC) program. The focus of a COSC unit is to prevent, identify, reduce, and manage combat and operational stress reactions resulting from physical and mental stressors in a combat environment. COSC centers around the recognition and resolution of functional problems and the development of enhanced coping skills. Recognizing that burn patients are, like combatants, also at high risk of stress-related illness, we applied COSC concepts to peacetime burn care. In this paper we describe the theoretical basis for COSC in a burn center. The COSC model supports holistic, functional recovery of the burn casualty and can augment psychosocial recovery, particularly in times of limited resources.","PeriodicalId":72961,"journal":{"name":"European burn journal","volume":"104 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139146193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A primary concern with BBED is that it is a painful procedure requiring appropriate analgesia. The purpose of this study was to describe our experience using NexoBrid® (NXB), with a particular focus on pain management. We performed a retrospective review on all 32 adult burn patients enrolled at our institution as part of a multicenter phase 3 clinical trial (DETECT) or the expanded access treatment protocol (NEXT). All patients underwent BBED with NXB of acute deep partial- and full-thickness thermal burn wounds at a major burn center between November 2016 and February 2023. Thirty-two patients with an average age of 42.1 years (SD = 17.4, range 18–72) and an average TBSA of 6.3% (SD = 5.9, range 1–24.5) underwent a total of 33 BBED procedures. Only one patient required an additional NXB treatment, and all patients achieved >95% eschar removal. For pain control during debridement, seven patients required a local block (LB), nine a regional block (RB), and thirteen conscious sedation (CS). Three patients were intubated (INTB) for their burn injury prior to the procedure. There was no statistical difference in Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) scores during vs. before treatment or after vs. before treatment for all patients or when subdivided by BMI, race, TBSA, total area treated, and anesthetic type (LB, RB, and CS). With appropriate analgesia, the pain associated with BBED of acute deep partial- and full-thickness thermal burns is well tolerated.","PeriodicalId":72961,"journal":{"name":"European burn journal","volume":"117 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138959013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thankfully, burn injuries have decreased over time, which has resulted in a significant clinical skills gap. Ships with only Role 1 (no surgical capability) assets have worse outcomes after burn injury compared to those with Role 2 (surgical capability) assets. To prepare for future burn care challenges during a war at sea, Military Medicine must re-learn the lessons of World War I and World War II. Burn injuries do not occur in isolation during war and are associated with concomitant traumatic injuries. To care for burn casualties at sea, there is an urgent need to increase the availability of whole blood and dried plasma, resuscitation fluids that were ubiquitous throughout the naval force during World War II for both hemorrhagic and burn shock resuscitation. Furthermore, those providing trauma care at sea require formal burn care training and skills sustainment experiences in the clinical management of Burn, Trauma, and Critical Care patients. While burn education, training, and experience must be improved, modern high-energy weapons systems and anti-ship ballistic missiles necessitate concurrent investments in prevention, countermeasures, and personal protective equipment to decrease the likelihood of burn injury and damage resulting from these attacks.","PeriodicalId":72961,"journal":{"name":"European burn journal","volume":"120 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138981655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following invasive bacterial infection, PCT is detectable in peripheral blood. The aim of our study was to determine if there is a relationship between serum PCT post-burn wound debridement and burn-related sepsis. In total, 34 participants were recruited from 1 November 2019 to 31 July 2020. Serum PCT levels were drawn on days 0, 1, 2, and 3, with day 0 being the day of the surgery. Blood culture samples were drawn on days 0 and 3. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA©. Descriptive statistics were presented as the median for continuous data and frequencies for categorical data. A two-sample Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney test was performed to assess the correlation between the PCT values and blood culture positivity. In all, 33 burn debridement procedures were completed, and 1 patient demised before surgery. The median age was 35.5 years; 61.8% were male. Four patients had comorbidities. There was a trend of higher PCT values from day 0 to day 3. The median PCT on day 0 was 3.30 µg/L (IQR 0.78–15.10), compared to day 3 PCT which was 5.15 µg/L (IQR 1.35–18.55). The median values for serum PCT for days 0 to 3 were above the normal threshold regardless of BC positivity. There was a statistically significant difference in the PCT levels between positive and negative BC, with a p value of 0.0087 for day 3 serum PCT. The findings indicate an association of a high serum PCT level with a positive blood culture in a burn patient post-debridement surgery. A higher numerical threshold/cut-off of serum PCT should be used for this cohort of patients, to aid in the diagnosis of sepsis. A cut-off value could not be determined due to the small sample size.","PeriodicalId":72961,"journal":{"name":"European burn journal","volume":"30 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139267784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
