Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery Courses
Abdominal Compartment Syndrome in Burns
This micro skills course from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons will explore the pathophysiology of abdominal compartment syndrome in burns and describe the role of fluid resuscitation in its aetiology.
Acute Wound Infections
This micro skills course from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons provides an overview of acute wound infections. It lists the causative micro-organisms and offers guidance on assessing and managing patients with acute wound infections.
Assessment of Outcomes in Patients with Burns
This micro skills course from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons will define what is meant by a major burn and identify the factors that can increase the severity of a burn injury. Later, it will investigate the impact of these factors on patient prognosis.
Causes of Airway and Inhalation Injury
This micro skills course from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons will explain how to classify airway and inhalation injuries and describe the pathophysiological processes that are involved.
Chemical Burns
This micro skills course from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons identifies the agents capable of causing chemical burns and describes the local tissue damage and systemic injuries that may occur as a result of exposure to each agent.
Clinical Examination of the Patient with a Suspicious Breast Lump
This micro skills course from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons will describe how to examine a patient with a suspicious breast lump and offer guidance on how to document the findings on examination.
Dressings and Splintage Following Burn Surgery
This micro skills course from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons will investigate the properties of the ideal dressing following burn surgery and explain why it can be difficult to dress donor sites in patients with massive burns. Later, it will describe how to make and apply splints following burn surgery.
Epidemiology and Aetiology of Burns
This micro skills course from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons will explore the incidence of burn injuries, highlighting the main types of burns and describing the clinical features that are associated with each type of burn injury.
Fluid Resuscitation in Burns
This micro skills course from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons explores the changes that affect fluid balance following a major burn. Later sections describe the resuscitation fluids that are used and the complications that can result from fluid resuscitation.
Forensic Aspects of Burns
This micro skills course from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons will explain why a burn injury may become part of a forensic investigation and explore the types of forensic evidence that a burns expert may be asked to provide in court.
Initial Assessment of the Burn Patient
This micro skills course from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons describes the steps that should be taken during the initial assessment of patients with major burns. Later sections will identify the life threatening complications that may arise in the early period after a burn has occurred.
Initial Management of Electrical Burns
This micro skills course from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons will describe the role of fasciotomy in major electrical burns and list the indications for amputation.
