Critical Review of Burn Depth Assessment Techniques: Part I. Historical Review

Abstract: The assessment of burn depth, and as such, the estimation of whether a burn wound is expected to heal on its own within 21 days, is one of the most important roles of the burn surgeon. A false-positive assessment and the patient faces needless surgery, a false-negative one and the patient faces increased length of stay, risks contracture, and hypertrophic scar formation. Although many clinical signs can aid in this determination, accurate assessment of burn depth is possible only 64 to 76% of the time, even fo… Show more

“…H&E staining has been used to determine partial and full thickness burns, normal and denatured collagen fibers, and patent vascular structure for many years. [23] In present study, biopsy samples were embedded in paraffin blocks, samples 5 μm thick were taken, stained with H&E, and assessed by single pathologist in order to objectively determine ideal length of exposure to heat and distance between subject and device to achieve standardized burn injury.…”

“…2,9 Bu metot, yanık yarasının görünümü, kapiller dolaşımın yeniden başlaması, kapillerlerin renklenmesi, vezikül oluşumu ve yanık yarasına hafif bir temas veya bir pikür ile duyarlılığın tespiti gibi yanık yarasının dış özelliklerinin subjektif olarak değerlendirilmesine dayanır. 4,10 Bu basit ve ucuz teknik ile yapılan değerlendirmelerin doğruluğu, en iyi şartlarda bile %64-76 arasındadır. 11,12 Bu tekniğin kullanımını sınırlayan dezavantajlardan biri, bu değerlen-dirme ile kesin bir tahmin elde edilemeyecek olmasıdır.…”

“…Bunlar floresan ve nonfloresan boyalardır. 4 Floresan ve nonfloresan vital boyalar ucuz olmasına rağmen yanık derinlik ölçüm modellerinde nadiren kullanılırlar. Floresein, bu amaçla kullanılabilen floresan bir boyadır, intravenöz enjeksiyon şeklinde uygulanır ve uygulamayı takiben yanık bölgesi üzerine 360-400 nm UV ışınla aydınlatma yapılarak görüntülenebilir.…”

“…Using these tissue phantoms, we found that our ms2/LCI instrument provides a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement of greater than 15 dB over conventional OCT at an imaging depth of 1 mm. Enhanced SNR and penetration depth may be beneficial for clinical applications such as the assessment of partial thickness burns that generally extend a few millimeters below the skin surface and are currently assessed by subjective visual inspections that provide limited accuracy [4]. Finally, the instrument was applied to acquire spectroscopic images of a partialthickness burn tissue phantom and normal rat skin in vivo at depths exceeding those generally available in conventional LCI and OCT.…”
