Burns. 26 / Vincent Gabriel, Radha Holavanahalli, and Karen Kowalske
Material type: Continuing resource In: Braddom's Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation -- 2021 p. 499-510Summary: Significant advances in management have resulted in an increase in survival after burn injury in regions of the world with access to current medical and surgical resources. As a consequence, burn survivors with access to up-to-date care and who tend to be young adults have long-term sequelae that impair function and limit return to preinjury function, including work and community reintegration. Up to 1 million burns require treatment annually in North America, and over 10 times as many burns occur worldwide. In low-income and middle-income countries, mortality is significantly greater than in high-income countries.98 The future of burn care will be challenged by the expense and complexity of treatment, a predicted shortage of qualified burn care providers, and an aging populationItem type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
