On the 5th day of admission, the patient underwent the wound debridement and installation of NPWT. On the 19th day of admission, the burn wound surface reduced about 20% TBSA. The patient was discharged on the 21st day of treatment in a good condition (Fig. 3).
Clean the burn wound using normal saline.
