A burn is defined as the tissue destruction of the skin caused by a harmful agent. Due to the damage to the skin, there is a risk of direct exposure and entry of bacteria into the body, which can lead to serious complications.
Healing and the specialized healthcare team take responsibility for the care and treatment of your burns, offering home visits on days and times that are most convenient for you, as well as at the frequency required. The care for each burn varies and depends on:
- The depth of the burn, meaning the thickness of the damaged tissue.
- The extent of the burn, meaning the total surface area of the injury.
These two factors determine the progression of the burn and the choice of treatment approach, as well as its potential consequences.
Nursing care for a burn patient includes the following:
- Frequent dressing changes with special gauze to keep the burn area dry.
- Thorough cleaning and care of the burn, including the removal of remnants from any ruptured blisters.
- Disinfection of the burn area with antiseptic ointments to prevent infection.
- Application of moisturizing creams or lotions to aid in the healing process.
Our specialized team ensures the proper care and a personalized treatment plan to support the recovery process safely and effectively.
