Abstract
Selective enzymatic debridement is increasingly being used in cases of burn wounds. However, until now the use of Nexobrid has been limited to 15% of total body surface area (TBSA) and immediate use on admission day. A 61-year-old Caucasian male suffered a severe burn injury that affected 95% TBSA. After surgical escharotomy and tracheotomy on admission day, we successfully performed a fractional enzymatic debridement of 54% of the TBSA in three different sessions within four days. This case report reveals that a delayed and fractional application of Nexobrid to more than 15% TBSA is possible.Entities:
