A comparison between occlusive and exposure dressing in the management of burn wound

Highlights • Exposure dressing of burn wounds was more susceptible to contamination than occlusive dressing. • The mean duration of treatment based on epithelialization and healing in occlusive dressing was longer than that for exposure dressing. • The incidence of burns due to hot liquid was higher...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Exposure dressing of burn wounds was more susceptible to contamination than occlusive dressing. • The mean duration of treatment based on epithelialization and healing in occlusive dressing was longer than that for exposure dressing. • The incidence of burns due to hot liquid was higher than burns of other etiologies. • Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common organism encountered in burn infection.
