The objective of this review was to systematically examine whether there is clinical evidence to support recommendations for positioning patients with acute burn. Review of the literature revealed minimal evidence-based practice regarding the positioning of burn patients in the acute and intermediate phases of recovery. This manuscript describes recommendations based on the limited evidence found in the literature as well as the expert opinion of burn rehabilitation specialists. These positioning recommendations are designed to guide those rehabilitation professionals who treat burn survivors during their acute hospitalization and are intended to assist in the understanding and development of effective positioning regimens.
With the popularity of cosmetic surgery procedures, it is vital that the surgeon select patients for procedures who likely will benefit, handle stress in a healthy manner, and not pose an undue level of aggravation to the surgeon and staff. By using a carefully planned preoperative written assessment, the surgeon can help identify patients who, for psychologic reasons, are emotionally suitable for such surgery.
Las infecciones constituyen actualmente, la principal amenaza vital en los pacientes tras una agresión térmica severa, siendo la principal causa de morbi-mortalidad de estos. La incidencia de infección en los pacientes quemados varía mucho de unas unidades de quemados a otras, y se halla claramente asociada al porcentaje de superficie corporal quemada (SCQ). Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de 107 pacientes ingresados en la unidad de quemados del Hospital Hermanos Ameijeiras en el período de enero de 2006 hasta diciembre 2008, con el diagnóstico de quemaduras, los que fueron estratificados según el porcentaje de SCQ.
