Description
Doina Iulia Nacea and co-authors describe, in 2026, how vacuum-assisted wound care fits into treating severe burns in children. Such burns carry high risks, and the suction therapy can prepare deep wounds for healing or grafting. The team reviewed five years of cases at their center, selecting children with burns over at least a fifth of the body.
Twelve children had burns from a fifth to four-fifths of the body, caused by electric current, flame, or scalds. The therapy was used to grow fresh tissue over exposed bone and tendon, reduce swelling, and ready failed graft sites. No therapy-linked complications or deaths occurred. A decision algorithm for other centers is proposed.
