“…In the tissue management, infection control, moisture balance, and edge advancement (TIME) framework approach, foreign and dead tissues are removed, infection is brought under control, and the wound bed is restored to its optimal condition. [12][13][14][15] During the healing process within the TIME framework, the various roof components are spirally inter- connected. Multiple elements of the roof might be affected by a single intervention; for instance, a debridement will remove necrotic tissue and prevent bacterial colonization.…”

BACKGROUND: Secondary infections are the leading cause of death in burn patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of open and closed burn dressings on the development of secondary infections.METHODS: Tissue cultures were obtained from the burn sites of 56 patients between the ages of 18 and 65 who were admitted to our burn unit between December 2022 and January 2023, on days 3 and 7. The impact of the demographic features of the patients, the characteristics of the burn wound, the dressing type, and the first intervention strategies given to the burn wound on the development of wound infection were evaluated. RESULTS:There was no statistically significant difference between the open-and closed-dressing groups in terms of cultural positivity (P>0.05). A statistically significant difference (P=0.019) was found between the groups in terms of culture positivity among those whose wounds were cleansed with warm water as the initial intervention after a burn and those whose wounds were not. CONCLUSION:Even though the main impacts of the patient's variables on the development of a wound infection are recognized, it has been found that the appropriate and successful first intervention in a burn wound is also quite important.
