Summary
Bleeding is an unreliable measure for burn wound excision adequacy. The Three "P
Area of Science:
- Burn surgery
- Wound healing
- Tissue viability
Background:
- Bleeding is a common but imprecise indicator for assessing tangential burn wound excision.
- Factors like patient physiology and operative conditions affect bleeding, making it unreliable for determining tissue viability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To re-evaluate the Three
Main Methods:
- Review of the Three
Main Results:
- The Three
Conclusions:
- The Three
