Abstract

This article describes the evaluation and management of a child with severe burns in a tertiary care center with a dedicated tertiary-level burns unit. An 8-year-old child with 25% Second-degree scald burns was evaluated and treated with ATLS, WHO Guidelines, and assessed with Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI) score. We have used routine blood investigations, and microbiological investigations. The child was treated with intravenous fluids and antibiotics. In addition, regenerative treatment modalities were used to improve wound healing.
