  • Title: Closing the burn wound.
    Author: MacMillan BG.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 1978 Dec; 58(6):1205-31. PubMed ID: 366787.
    Abstract:
    With recent advances in supportive therapy and surgical care, closure of the burn wound now can be accomplished earlier and more effectively than previously. Only by keeping the patient in a state of positive nitrogen balance, immunologically competent, and in equilibrium with the bacteria colonizing the burn wound can early wound closure be carried out with a minimal number of postburn complications.
