A 72-year-old female was admitted with 10% TBSA burn to left thigh, left flank and left upper chest also following a cooking-related accident. She was assessed daily for 5 days and was discharged home after we determined that her wounds will heal with no surgery. The perfusion and photographic images are shown in Figure 2.
The difference in area 1 and 2 in this case were smaller than that in the previous case, likely due to a smaller magnitude of difference in burn depth. Unlike Case 1, this patient demonstrated a spike in perfusion on day 4, immediately prior to the assessment of healing and discharge.
