Treatment of Wounds of Various Etiologies in Children in Modern Conditions

Presented is a multi-year experience in treating a wide range of skin and underlying tissue injuries among children hospitalized at Children’s City Clinical Hospital No. 9 (Ekaterinburg) from 2016 to 2024. The main observation groups consisted of children aged 6 months to 18 years who suffered various types of damage such as thermal burns of varying depths, bruises and tears of soft tissues, infectious processes (for example, chronic osteomyelitis), as well as diverse traumatic wounds. The purpose of this analysis was to identify the most effective treatment approaches aimed at improving survival rates among injured children, accelerating the regeneration process of the skin cover, and minimizing the risk of complications associated with the formation of severe scars. Researchers emphasized the positive role of new diagnostic technologies and medications that significantly reduce the frequency of infections. Special attention was given to individualizing the therapeutic process based on the nature of injury, specific characteristics of each patient’s body, stage of disease progression, and its dynamic development. Specific recommendations are provided regarding medical staff actions when changes occur in the patient’s condition. It also highlights the importance of coordinated work by multidisciplinary teams including surgeons, trauma orthopedists, pediatricians, neurologists, and rehabilitation doctors striving for comprehensive care aimed at maximizing functional capabilities after sustained traumas. Research demonstrated high effectiveness of early rehabilitation measures, timely surgical intervention, and innovative wound care methods. Treatment strategies were analyzed across different age categories, revealing patterns that allowed differentiated approaches tailored to each group. Authors’ conclusions confirm significant achievements in modern children’s surgery and resuscitation medicine, enabling improvements in healthcare quality for children suffering serious skin and organ injuries. This acquired experience represents interest for further scientific exploration into issues of emergency medicine and pediatric practice, providing groundwork for developing improved clinical guidelines and specialized assistance protocols.
