Module 6: Burns (pre-mindmap)
Overview
Feelings
Facts
Difficulties
Opportunities/Benefits
Creativity
Complex specialised area, esp. in the acute setting
Large psychosocial impact
High risk of complications, reduced function + engagement
High risk of secondary issues- pain etc.
Never any clinical experience; recall very little from the single lecture in undergrad about burns management
An area that I am curious to learn more about, as have had nil exposure
Potentially unlikely to see any clinical cases for some time, but interested to have knowledge and resources if needed
Highly unlikely to see acute cases, most likely is in Rehab.
Literature review on efficacy of stretching, esp. in ICU setting (little evidence in the usual ICU population, perhaps different in this specialised area)
Do recall some information from an airway management / respiratory perspective in the acute setting from undergrad
An area where MDT would work closely together, perhaps discussing with our OT team to see if they have any experience + further knowledge to share
Able to recall simple management strategies for burns management in the post acute phase, which is an improvement on my current knowledge
Potentially be able to translate new physiological knowledge of tissue healing to my interest in management of amputees, other complex vascular patients that I frequently see
Understand concepts of management of pain in context of burns
