| Core Tip |
The patient in this case was a female who suffered a fourth degree burn in the left temporal part of her face. This followed her having an episode of syncope which led to her collapse onto a fire basin. Skull periosteum and facial deep fascia were exposed resulting in complications with wound repair. As head and facial burn wounds were not suitable for early eschar cutting, she was treated with systemic nutritional support, local wound exposure, debridement and skin grafting at a later stage. The patient was given a skin graft from the thigh, but some of the skin slices were observed to have survived poorly, resulting in further skull exposure. The skull was drilled to induce granulation, and the wound was closed with local flap transfer. Due to the patient living in Xining City which has altitudes as high as 2260 meters above sea level, hyperbaric oxygen therapy was given repeatedly from initial admission until the local flap transfer operation to cover the exposed wounds of her skull. This was beneficial to the recovery of the whole body state of the patients and the survival of the skin flap. |
