Abstract:
Burn children would experience pain and anxiety during treatment and rehabilitation, thus analgesic and sedative treatment should be applied throughout the whole process of burn treatment. Due to the unique physiological and psychological status of burn children, analgesic and sedative treatment for burn children is a relatively complex process compared with that for adult burn patients. Therefore, how to provide the effective and safe analgesic and sedative treatment for burn children is a clinical challenge. This paper reviewed the related progress of assisted analgesic and sedative treatment of burn children, in order to provide a reference for clinical treatment.
