| Summary: | Burns are a main cause of accidental injuries among children in China. Because of the unique wound repair capacity and demand for growth in pediatric patients, the management of pediatric deep partial-thickness burn wounds involves a broader range of treatment options and controversy. We assembled experts from relevant fields in China to reach a consensus on the key points of thermal-induced pediatric deep partial-thickness burn-wound management, including definition and diagnosis, surgical treatments, nonsurgical treatment, choice of wound dressings, growth factor applications, infectious wound treatment, scar prevention and treatment. The committee members hope that the Expert Consensus will provide help and guiding recommendations for the treatment of pediatric deep partial-thickness burn wounds. |
