They need to feel useful, not only the recipient of good will and caring but the deliverers of such care.​ Self-worth is crucial. Patients need to practice interacting in the community before they go home. A trip with a therapist, nurse or doc to the cafeteria in the hospital may be the most important threshold for readiness for society, as simple as it sounds, this is a practiced skill, so that they can practice their own reaction or experience others’ reactions.

Website: https://burncenters.cloud-cme.com/default.aspx*Addendum: One reason professionals familiar with stressful scenarios don’t want to speak about them is because they are afraid of experiencing those memories. One strategy I was taught to share with patients, and likewise with medical professionals, experiencing nightmares or reliving the trauma, the fire, etc is to tell them that the nightmare is the psyche’s defense mechanism to ensure you don’t put yourself in that situation again... and one can learn to awaken and rationalize the experience and over time the intensity can subside.Disclaimer: The content, information, opinions, and viewpoints contained in these educational materials are those of the authors or contributors of such materials.

Website: https://burncenters.cloud-cme.com/default.aspxAddendum: "We mostly think of PTSD as maladaptive...meaning, its a response that is harmful and not helpful. It may be worth considering the notion that it is partly adaptive...meaning we are biologically wired to have profound fear and aversion to scenarios that are deadly...our brains are saying...’don’t ever be in this position again’ as a protective mechanism...better to be afraid than dead. Yet the lesson seems to exceed the need...I use the analogy of, once we know why the alarm is sounding...we want the noise gone...it’s counterproductive to dealing with the problem." Dr. Fidler"Most emergency health care pros are fairly immune to gore. If they see an autopsy of a stranger, they’d be more intrigued than afraid.Yet when the human tragedy includes the emotional connection...child abuse, or living with disfigurement and loss of loved ones...we connect and feel that ...that’s harder"-Dr. FidlerDisclaimer: The content, information, opinions, and viewpoints contained in these educational materials are those of the authors or contributors of such materials.

On this episode of the Burn Care Radio we take a in-depth look at ways to prevent and treat hypothermia in our burn patients. A brief discussion on why it is important to prevent hypothermia and what effects hypothermia can have on our burn patients. All episodes offer continuing education credits (CE). To earn free EMS and nursing CE's go to our custom education website and create an account. Website: https://burncenters.cloud-cme.com/default.aspxAddendums: Body temperature is measured in Fahrenheit and Celsius. 35C or 95F is moderate hypothermia and 32C or 90F is severe hypothermia.Probably the greatest threat to hypothermia is wetness, it is really important to be sure patients are not on wet sheets and if they must be that they are sent with warm air circulators like bair hugger . It should be noted the liquid conducts temperature very rapidly, much faster than gas (that’s the reason a 60F Spring day feels warm but a 60F pool could kill you in a few hours.Preventing hypothermia is the best way to avoid serious trouble, playing catch-up to warm a patient that is becoming severely hypothermic is very difficult and can have negative affects.Another matter to consider in a severely burned patient is resistant hypothermia can be a sign of Adrenal Insufficiency and may require glucocorticoid support.Hypothermia can put wound healing at risk because of decreased skin perfusion and higher risk of infection and coagulopathy. ​​Disclaimer: The content, information, opinions, and viewpoints contained in these educational materials are those of the authors or contributors of such materials.
