Abstract

The progressive deepening of burn wounds is one of the common clinical problems and difficulties in early burn treatment. At the present, it is believed that local ischemia and hypoxia, persistent inflammation, infection, unbalanced local microenvironment, cell necrosis, apoptosis, and autophagy are the main mechanisms of progressive deepening of burn wounds. In recent years, basic and clinical studies have proposed various new strategies for prevention and treatment of progressive deepening of burn wounds, mainly including correct cooling, improving blood perfusion of the wound, early debridement, improving the wound microenvironment, preventing and treating wound infection, reducing wound inflammation, and inhibiting the oxidative stress in the wound. This review focuses on the current progress of prevention and treatment strategies of burn wound progressive deepening, in order to provide references for the treatment of burn wounds.
