A 24-year-old male, with a history of schizophrenia, suffered extensive burns after pouring gasoline down his shirt and pants, and lighting a match. The self-inflicted injury resulted in 50% total body surface area, full-thickness burns. When he was admitted to Grady Memorial Hospital’s Burn Center in Atlanta, he was in stable condition, awake, and surprisingly calm.
A former wrestler, the patient was very muscular and in good shape. Although the mental health aspect led to a longer discharge, he is now in a group home and doing well.
In this case-specific webinar, Dr. Hodge, assistant medical director at the Burn Center, discusses:
-
- Why she tried to close certain body part wounds initially
- Her protocol for lining the Integra pieces
- What factors led to a longer in-patient stay
