Burn Injuries

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Area of Science:

Medical Simulation
Surgical Education
Burn Surgery

Background:

Medical simulation, including virtual and augmented reality, is advancing but underutilized in burn surgery.
Burn surgery training traditionally lacks comprehensive simulation tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile application-based surgical simulation module for burn wound excision and reconstruction.
To assess the impact of the simulation on senior house officer trainees' knowledge and understanding of burn surgery procedures.

Main Methods:

A cohort of 38 plastic surgery trainees completed a multiple-choice test on burn wound management.
Trainees then used the 'Excision of an Unhealed Burn Wound' module on the Touch Surgery app.
The multiple-choice test was repeated after 1 hour to measure knowledge retention and improvement.

Main Results:

90% of participants showed improved self-assessed knowledge of burn excision and skin grafting.
89.5% demonstrated enhanced understanding of surgical equipment for burn procedures.
84.3% reported better comprehension of split-thickness skin graft preparation and application.

Conclusions:

Digital simulation, like the Touch Surgery module, is a valuable tool for burn surgery education.
The simulation effectively improved trainees' knowledge, despite limitations in hands-on experience.
Widespread adoption of such tools could enhance surgical training in burn care.
