Journal of Burn Care & Research, 10/14/09
Cuttle L et al. – Recommended first aid (cold water for >=20 minutes) was associated with significantly reduced reepithelialization time for children with contact injuries. Superficial depth burns were significantly more likely to be associated with the use of recommended first aid. Suboptimal treatment was more common for children younger than 3.5 years and for children with friction burns. This report is one of the few publications to relate first–aid treatment to clinical outcomes. Some positive clinical outcomes were associated with recommended first–aid use; however, wound outcomes were more strongly associated with burn depth and mechanism of injury. There is also a need for more public awareness of recommended first–aid treatment.
