Burn injuries are under-appreciated injuries that are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Burn injuries, particularly severe burns, are accompanied by an immune and inflammatory response, metabolic changes and distributive shock that can be challenging to manage and can lead to multiple organ failure. Of great importance is that the injury affects not only the physical health, but also the mental health and quality of life of the patient. Accordingly, patients with burn injury cannot be considered recovered when the wounds have healed; instead, burn injury leads to long-term profound alterations that must be addressed to optimize quality of life. Burn care providers are, therefore, faced with a plethora of challenges including acute and critical care management, long-term care and rehabilitation. The aim of this Primer is not only to give an overview and update about burn care, but also to raise awareness of the ongoing challenges and stigmata associated with burn injuries.

烧伤。

烧伤是被忽视的伤害，与大量发病率和死亡率有关。烧伤特别是严重的烧伤伴有免疫和炎症反应，新陈代谢变化和分布性休克，这些挑战极难控制，并可能导致多器官功能衰竭。最重要的是，伤害不仅影响身体健康，而且影响患者的心理健康和生活质量。因此，伤口愈合后不能认为烧伤患者已经康复；取而代之的是，烧伤会导致长期的深刻变化，必须解决这些变化以优化生活质量。因此，烧伤护理人员面临许多挑战，包括急性和重症护理管理，长期护理和康复。
