Abstract
Objective: To explore the best time for dressing change of burn patients, and to provide theoretical basis for clinical nursing, so as to reduce the infection rate of burn patients, promote wound healing, increase the comfort of dressing change and improve the quality of nursing.
Methods: descriptive study review method. Widely consult the relevant literature in the databases of Wipe, Wanfang and Pubmed, screen the literature, and summarize the relevant research results.
Results: The wound healing of burn patients changed with time, and the Gram-negative bacteria around the wound in different periods were also very different. Reasonable selection of dressing change interval can effectively control bacterial infection of wound, reduce infection of wound and promote wound healing. In addition, the dressing materials used will also directly affect the interval between dressing changes and the prognosis of burn wounds.
Conclusion: As a clinical nursing worker, we should be able to accurately identify the situation of burn wounds and make timely assessment. In order to promote wound healing, reduce the pain caused by frequent dressing change and bring high quality nursing experience to patients, the best dressing should be applied and the best dressing interval should be selected for different degrees of burns.
