Outpatient management of minor burns. 1977

S F Miller

The overwhelming majority of burns are minor and can be treated on an ambulatory basis if hospitalization is not indicated. Recommended are topical antimicrobial agents in the acute phase and pressure garments after wound healing. Sound principles of burn wound management determine the ultimate outcome of treatment, the degree of function and the cosmetic appearance of the healed wound.
