Chapter 6. Burn Wound Management
Other types of synthetic skin substitutes are AlloDerm
177
®
Integra®, Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix (BTM®), and Matriderm®. These types of skin substitutes belong in the group of acellular skin substitutes which function as a dermal layer. These skin substitutes are made from natural biological materials and collagen. The silicone membranes of these der­mal substitutes serve as the epidermis until removed and replaced with autograft skin.
It is important to recognize that several types of skin sub­stitutes are available for use that cater to a variety of needs. Whereas some skin substitutes are more suitable for replac­ing solely the dermal layer, some are used to replace both the dermal and epidermal layers. Additionally, some skin substi­tutes are composed of different materials as they may help address other complications specific to the patient.
Conclusion
Acute management of a burn patient is most critical within the first 72 h of injury. It cannot be overemphasized that proper healing begins in the emergency department.
For each burn patient, the initial assessment is important since this process will indicate the magnitude and type of burn, additional injuries, approximate healing time, and length of hospital stay. All of these factors play a significant role in deter­mining the most appropriate treatment needed for the patient. Usually, minor burns (generally less than 10% TBSA partial­thickness burns) may be treated as an outpatient unless other­wise stated by the ABA’s Burn Criteria. Patients with burns involving more than 10% TBSA or those with full-thickness injuries, however, can experience infection, leading to hospital­ization and surgery. Treatment of shock, pain relief, managing airway injuries, and addressing the care of additional trauma occur before management of the burn wound.
At times, certain injuries may benefit from escharotomy before transfer to a burn center to prevent circulatory and pulmonary complications from compression of the tissues.

Assessing for an escharotomy before transfer to a burn cen­ter is crucial. Additionally, early burn excision and grafting should begin promptly as it has proven to decrease the length of hospital stay, morbidity, mortality, and bacterial coloniza­tion [28]. When covering the wound, there are many dressing methods to choose from. Wound care should be tailored to individual patients as this care will significantly impact the wound-healing time.

Introduction
The human face is vital for communication, allowing for the transmission of nonverbal information and subtle emotions. Furthermore, our faces process numerous sensory inputs, facili­tating our perception of the outside world. The face has a unique and complex anatomy, consisting of skin, fat, muscle, and skele­ton encasing and supporting sensory structures such as the eyes, the nose, and the ears. Facial burns can be truly devastating. Obliteration of facial landmarks, burn scar contractures, and loss of sensory structures may significantly impair how a patient interacts with the world. The resulting pain, edema, and scarring can lead to facial cosmetic and functional deformities and lasting physical and psychological impairment [1, 2].
Optimal care of the burned face is lifesaving and helps maximize future cosmetic and functional results. In general, care consists of the primary assessment, airway control, and wound care. Later, postburn management focuses on scar management, reconstruction, and rehabilitation. Because other vital structures such as the eyes, ears, and the upper and lower respiratory tracts are commonly involved, the initial management of the injury can become particularly challeng­ing, requiring an intensive, multidisciplinary effort. The face is divided into distinct aesthetic units and subunits, first described by Gonzalez-Ulloa in 1987 [3]. These aesthetic units play a vital role in the surgical management of the burned face, in placement of skin grafts and other reconstruc­tions [4, 5]. Facial burn management aims to restore the facial subunits, achieve a cosmetically satisfactory symmetric face, and maximize the function of dynamic facial expression [6].

This chapter aims to summarize and discuss the different approaches for the treatment of facial burns.

Anatomy andPathophysiology ofFacial Burns
Skin is vulnerable to numerous environmental insults. Injuries can be caused by exposure to heat, cold, radiation, chemical, or electrical sources. Most commonly, though, burns are caused by thermal insults from liquids or flames [7, 8]. The face is commonly uncovered, leaving it more vulnerable to injuries [9]. The skin acts as the primary barrier against ultra­violet radiation, temperature extremes, toxins, and mechani­cal trauma. Furthermore, it functions as a sensory organ, mediates immunologic surveillance, and aids in thermoregu­lation and fluid homeostasis [1, 10].
The skin consists of the epidermis and the dermis. The severity of a burn injury is classified by the depth of tissue involved. Accurate assessment of burn extent and depth is critical for determining the level of care required in the acute setting and the need for surgical intervention. Burn injuries that solely affect the epidermis are classified as superficial burns (first-degree). First-degree burns can be painful and cause the skin to become erythematous. While painful, these burns heal spontaneously without scarring. Partial-thickness burns involve injury down to the dermis. Superficial partial­thickness burns (second-degree) are painful, require topical wound care, typically do not scar, and do not require surgical procedures. Deep partial-thickness burns (second-degree) are less painful due to the destruction of pain receptors, drier than superficial partial-thickness burns, may require surgery, and are more prone to scarring. Full-thickness burns (third­degree) extend through the dermis, require skin grafting, and are at high risk for infections. Fourth-degree burns involve underlying structures such as muscle or bone [7].
Unique anatomical aspects at different depths of the facial skin are important in healing. Wound healing depends

on several factors, including epithelial cell proliferation and migration of epidermal appendages. The face and the scalp contain a high concentration of these appendages, including sebaceous glands, apocrine glands, and hair follicles. In the face, these structures are usually localized in the deeper dermis and the underlying subcutaneous tissue. The high concentration and density of appendages in the deeper areas provide a great capacity to re-epithelialize spontane­ously [1, 10].
When a thermal insult occurs, local blood supply influences the depth of the burn. The face is well vascularized. The greater the blood supply, the better an area can disperse heat, reducing burn depth and severity [9]. Due to the vascularity of the face, significant blood loss occurs with excision of burns, which has to be taken into consideration for surgical interventions [11].
The skin’s thickness and flexibility affect overall burn depth and the development of complications such as contractures. Compared to the skin on the lips and eyelids, most facial skin is relatively thick. The skin on the forehead mostly sits on muscle and bone and is not very pliable, so it does not tend to contract after severe burn injuries. The skin on the face and the neck mostly overlies muscles and fat and is highly flexible. When burned, it tends to lead to contractures of the deeper layers of the skin [9]. The eyelids are often involved in severe facial burn injuries. The blink reflex protects the eye and the margin of the eyelid so that only the skin is exposed to the offending agent. Deep burns and scar contracture can result in ectropion, leading to incomplete eye closure. Ectropion increases the risk for desiccation and corneal ulceration lead­ing to perforation and a threat to vision [4]. The nose and the ears consist of bony structures and cartilage, which are poorly vascularized with thin overlying skin. Deep burns in this area can expose the underlying structures and lead to vital tissue loss and deformity. Burn injuries to the nose, eyelids, and ears represent a significant challenge in the field of reconstructive burn surgery [1].

Inhalation Injury
Inhalation injury refers to tissue damage to the respiratory tract and the lungs following thermal or chemical insult. These types of injuries are common in severe facial burns [12]. The potential for concomitant inhalational injury in facial burn must be considered, and failure to identify inhalational injury expediently can be life threatening. Several studies have shown that patients with burn injuries experience more sig­nificant morbidity and mortality when there is concomitant inhalation injury [1315]. Clinical suspicion of inhalation injury is suspected by certain risk factors, such as burns includ­ing the face and neck, singed facial or nasal hair, altered voice, stridor, oral or nasal soot deposits, and carbonaceous sputum. Due to edema, the most immediate threat from inhalation injury is upper airway obstruction [16]. Acute upper airway obstruction occurs in 20–33% of hospitalized burn patients with inhalation injury, which can rapidly progress from mild pharyngeal edema to complete upper airway obstruction [17]. Furthermore, patients without significant airway edema may rapidly decompensate when fluid resuscitation begins.
In general, there are three primary mechanisms and causes of inhalation injuries. First, direct thermal trauma can involve the upper respiratory tract and, rarely, subglottic structures [18]. The upper respiratory tract protects the structures distally from extreme heat or cold as it serves as a heat exchanger [12]. Second, smoke inhalation can pass the glottis. Chemical irritants are present in smoke, and the severity of the trauma is deter­mined by the length of exposure, chemical composition, and the size of the particles. Third, systemic toxicity may occur when carbon monoxide or cyanide is present in the inhaled gases [12].
The diagnosis of inhalation injuries is challenging and is typically based on the physical examination, the patient his­tory, and burn mechanism and bronchoscopy. Regarding the patient history, information about the mechanism of injury, the exposure, and the combustion source are crucial for diagnosis. For instance, blast injuries can indicate injuries distal to the larynx, and the source of combustion can identify

particulate and chemical irritants. Tools other than physical examination and patient history are also often used to sup­port the diagnosis of inhalation injury. Pulse oximetry, arterial blood gas analysis, and chest X-ray should be carried out as a baseline. However, they are insensitive tools for lung injuries in the initial phase of the trauma, as the inflammatory infil­trate occurring in response to injury may take one to two days to develop [12]. The flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy directly visualizes the tissue damage and remains the “gold standard” to confirm inhalation injuries [19].
The treatment of inhalation injuries is not specific, depends on various factors, and primarily consists of supportive care. Initially, the focus is on airway management. There are mul­tiple indications for prophylactic and early intubations. Intubation can be lifesaving for patients with burns to the face and inhalation injuries. Nasal intubation may be pre­ferred in patients with partial-thickness burns. Patients with severe burn (30% total body surface area [TBSA] or full­thickness burns of the face) may require long-term ventila­tion, which may be managed by tracheostomy. This allows better access for treatment of the face and requires less seda­tion [1, 12, 20].
Management ofFacial Burns
Facial burn can be devastating and may result in a change in appearance, scar formation, functional impairment, and psy­chiatric disability. Deep burns can require long-term reha­bilitation and reconstructive procedures. With an accurate and swift treatment strategy, wound healing and scar pre­vention can be improved, and further follow-up procedures avoided.
The general approach for treating facial burns is similar to that of the rest of the body. The treatment strategy depends on the depth and size of the burn. Superficial partial- thickness burns are treated conservatively, as they heal spontaneously, re-epithelialize on their own within
