Abstract

Second-degree burn is the most common type of burns in clinical practice and hard to manage. At present, there is no unified standard or specification for the first aid, diagnosis, classification, manner of conservative dressing change, and choice of external dressings or medications for second-degree burn wounds, which significantly affects the formulation of clinical treatment plans and the consistency of clinical studies. The consensus writing group developed the based on evidence-based medicine evidence and expert opinion. This expert consensus put forward 29 specific recommendations from 2 aspects: pre-hospital first aid and non-surgical treatment for second-degree burn wounds, aiming to form a standardized clinical treatment plan for second-degree burn wounds.
