Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

2.3K
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...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

2.8K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

2.6K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

1.6K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Acute Respiratory Failure-V01:29

Acute Respiratory Failure-V

110
The treatment for acute respiratory failure varies based on factors like the underlying cause, overall health, and severity. A collaborative healthcare team is essential for early detection, often through arterial blood gas analysis. Identifying the cause is the primary goal, with treatment strategies adjusted for ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch, shunting, or diffusion impairment.
Ensure that patients are monitored continuously for their response to therapy, including changes in...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

178
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Critical Care

Background:

  • Non-burn dermatologic emergencies present significant morbidity and mortality risks.
  • Multidisciplinary care at burn centers can improve outcomes but access is limited.
  • Intensivists at non-burn centers manage these cases without standardized triage guidelines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide standardized triage criteria for non-burn dermatologic emergencies.
  • To establish a framework for initial clinical management of these conditions.
  • To guide intensivists in managing patients outside specialized burn centers.

Main Methods:

  • Focused review of existing literature and clinical guidelines.
  • Development of triage criteria based on severity and organ system involvement.
  • Outline of management principles including airway, fluids, nutrition, thermoregulation, and wound care.

Main Results:

  • Key triage criteria for common non-burn dermatologic emergencies are presented.
  • A comprehensive management framework addresses critical care aspects.
  • Guidance is provided for initial interventions and disposition decisions.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized triage and management are crucial for non-burn dermatologic emergencies.
  • This review offers a practical framework for intensivists.
  • Improved initial care can reduce morbidity and mortality in these patients.
