This article presents the Consensus on the Treatment of Second-Degree Burn Wounds (2024 edition), developed by the Chinese Burn Association Tissue Repair of Burns and Trauma Committee. The consensus aims to standardize the treatment of second-degree burns, which are the most common type of burn in clinical practice. It addresses prehospital first aid, nonsurgical treatment, surgical treatment, and infection treatment, providing 58 specific recommendations based on evidence-based medicine and expert opinion. Key highlights include: - The first clinical consensus on second-degree burn wound treatment, covering four main areas. - Standardization of terminology, including the classification of deep second-degree burns into shallow, profound, and uncertain-depth wounds. - Development of grading criteria for burn wound infections and a treatment protocol. - Recommendations for prehospital first aid, such as immediate removal from heat sources, early cooling, and preservation of blister skin. - Nonsurgical treatment guidelines, including diagnosis and evaluation methods for burn depth and area. - Surgical treatment and infection management recommendations. The consensus emphasizes the importance of timely and appropriate interventions to prevent wound deepening and improve outcomes. It also highlights the need for further research and validation of the recommended practices.This article presents the Consensus on the Treatment of Second-Degree Burn Wounds (2024 edition), developed by the Chinese Burn Association Tissue Repair of Burns and Trauma Committee.
