This book presents topical research in the study of the prevention, causes and treatment of burns. Topics discussed in this compilation include emergency burn care; nanotechnology and nanomedicine advancements in burn therapy; post-burn hand deformities; the role of apoptosis in burn injury; burns during arthroscopy due to the use of electrosurgical devices; the body's local and consecutive, systemic pathophysiological reaction to thermal lesions; the burn reconstructive units on the face and neck; use of modern day technology for pain management during burn injury rehabilitation; carbon monoxide intoxication in burns; the clinical application of Versajet Hydrosurgery System in burn debridement and escharotomy techniques in burn injuries.
