Management of Pediatric Burns

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will focus on pediatric burns. Children are prone to burn injury, many times due to home accidents, with scalds reported as the most common etiology. As such, one would expect such injuries to be preventable. Nevertheless, children are still a large part of the patient population in burn centers around the world. In Europe, approximately 50% of all burn injuries are pediatric burns. In developing countries, this number has been reported to be as high as 80%. As we all know, children are not small adults. Medical care of children is unique in general, and this is very relevant in pediatric burn care as well. This issue will focus on pediatric burn care in general, including a focus on the unique aspects of children. Articles on all areas of pediatric burn care are welcome, from prevention to aspects of acute care and through to rehabilitation, reconstruction, nutrition, psychosocial aspects, etc. Experimental and research articles, case series, up-to-date reviews, and commentaries are all welcome.
