ANTIBIOTICS
In our country patients arrive late and some degree of
contamination may have occurred,it is necessary to give
prophylactic antibiotic therapy; and this can be provided by
giving full doses of penicillin.
- The further treatment of the burnt area, is guided by
recognition of areas of full thickness skin burn
- These will require early sloughectomy (Removal of the full
thickness skin burnt area with the scalpel under anaesthesia).
- The areas requiring this treatment will become apparent any day
after the 4th day this treatment can be undertaken, at the end
of first week or later.
- These areas will require covering with split thickness graft.
