Abstract

Burns are one of the most devastating traumas, affecting more than two million individuals around the globe every year [1, 2]. The last few decades have been marked by several advances in the care of massive burns that have considerably diminished morbidity and improved survival [3]. These improvements are most notable in elderly individuals [4, 5] and children [6]. Burn care has seen advances in four major areas:
