When a carbohydrate is broken into its component sugar molecules by hydrolysis (e.g. sucrose being broken down into glucose and fructose), this is termed saccharification. Generally, hydrolysis or saccharification is a step in the degradation of a substance.or example, dissolving sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) in water is accompanied by hydrolysis to give hydronium and bisulfate, the sulfuric acid's conjugate base. For a more technical discussion of what occurs during such a hydrolysis, see BroenstedâBrÃ¸nsted lowryâacid base. theory
Many patients at the outset are intubated, and therefore unable to make their needs known; it is therefore critical that the staff be unusually attentive to these issues. Usually the first step in pain control in the burn unit involves intravenous opioids (morphine, fentanyl) supplemented by benzodiazopenes (diazepam, chlordiazopoxide, lorazepam).
Prompt institution of appropriate regimens for care of the burned patient is of prime importance and includes the control of shock and pain. The burn wounds are then cleansed and debrided, and Silvadene Cream 1% (silver sulfadiazine) is applied under sterile conditions. The burn areas should be covered with Silvadene Cream 1% at all times.
