Implementation of Negative Pressure for Acute Paediatric Burns

每年有超过4000名儿童参加我们的烧伤服务。当代烧伤护理旨在加快患者的愈合时间，这直接避免了儿童形成疤痕的风险。我们知道，在受伤后72小时内对儿童烧伤实施负压伤口治疗（NPWT）将缩短儿童的愈合时间，降低疤痕风险和护理成本。共同制定NPWT途径和实施战略将改善全国儿童烧伤的结果。

Over 4000 children present to our burns services every year. Contemporary burn care aims to speed up a patients time to healing which directly avoids the child's risk of developing a scar. We know that applying negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to a child's burn within 72 hours post injury will improve a child's time to healing, decreasing the risk of scarring & cost of care. Co-developing a NPWT Pathway and implementation strategies will improve outcomes for childhood burns nationally.
