My softest scar: Tension reducing taping to improve scarring
Wednesday 7th of September 2022, 15.30-17:00
Why attend this workshop?
Burn scars require a multimodal and multidisciplinary approach to improving aesthetic and functional results.
Tension-reducing taping showed beneficial effects in the post-acute rehabilitation phase of burns.
This workshop allows you to meet physical therapists of two different European centers who integrate the use of taping into their multimodal approach to post burns care.
Peter and Danila will share with you the theory behind their methods, their practical approaches toward physical scar management, and the demonstration of their specific tension-reducing taping techniques.
For whom?
Physical therapists caring for better results in post-burn scars

Optimal nutritional therapy in patients with burns: from theory to practice
Thursday 8th of September 2022, 8.30-10:00 AM
Why attend this workshop?
Nutritional therapy is an essential part of the multidisciplinary burn treatment.
In fact, burns induce a hypermetabolic, inflammatory and catabolic state, leading to increased nutritional demands. Suboptimal nutritional therapy, and immobilisation or lack of exercise further worsen nutritional status. Malnutrition in hospitalised patients is associated with higher morbidity and mortality, decreased wound healing, daily functioning, substantial longer in hospital stay, and increased costs.
However, feeding patients with severe burns according to current guidelines can be a challenge.
During this workshop, both theory and practice of delivering optimal nutritional therapy in patients with burns will be covered. Current state of the evidence, including current scientific knowledge gaps, practical experiences and opportunities for the optimisation of nutritional therapy will be shared and discussed with participants.
For whom?
Any burn care professionals interested in optimising nutritional therapy in their patients.

Thursday 8th of September 2022, 13.30-15.00 (Didactic session)
Friday 9th of September 2022, 08.30-10.30 (Practical session)
Why attend this workshop?
Visual arts introduce different ways of thinking and perceiving the identity and beauty of people.
The practice of visual arts, such as drawing, sculpture and photography, may be integrated into the burn reconstructive process, allowing professionals and patients to see, perceive and feel the self after injury.
The Workshop will include two parts: a didactic session reviewing the use of visual art tools in the planning of reconstructive burn surgery, and a practical charcoal studio drawing session with the guidance of art students and experienced instructors. Participants will draw a series of ‘virtual models’ with burn contractures and deformities. Through this experience we will develop our ability to burn reconstructive process.
For whom?
All burn care professionals with the desire to develop the personal visual perception of identity and beauty. No prior skill or experience is needed.

Can nutrients be used to improve outcomes in severe burns?
Do you think that nutrients can impact the clinical outcomes of severe burn patients? Come to this session to hear the results of the largest randomized trial of severe burn patients ever conducted, The RE-ENERGIZE trial, which randomized 1200 patients from 54 burn units from 14 countries to receive enteral glutamine or placebo. In the same presentation, we will present the background rationale for the VICToRY trial which aims to enroll 666 patients with severe burns to high dose intravenous vitamin C.

The VICToRY Trial meeting
For more than 2 decades, there has been interest in the role of high dose vitamin C in the management of severe burn patients. We have recently received funding to conduct the pivotal trial that aims to randomly allocate 666 patients with severe burns to receive either high dose intravenous vitamin 6 or placebo. The purpose of this session is to review the background rationale for vitamin C in management of burns, review study status to date, and explain key methodological and operational issues. This session is open to all; we are actively recruiting sites. Come and learn more!

Cosmetic camouflage make-up for restoring burn survivors’ identity
Saturday 10th of September 2022, 8:30-10:00
Why attend this workshop?
Visible scars and skin irregularities, after burn injuries, alter a person’s body image, self-esteem and result in significant distress. Medical camouflage offers a way to color-match skin irregularities and reduces the visual attention to the scars from people around those affected. Camouflage is an important tool that gives those affected a choice over their appearance and a sense of control over how they want to look every day.
During this workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the application of camouflage techniques: starting with theoretical basics, turning over to practical examples and discussing tips based on personal experiences. Camouflage’s role in rebuilding confidence after burn injuries will be discussed in the panel afterwards.
For whom?
Burn care professionals interested in learning more about camouflage techniques.
