title: [Therapeutic guide to local care of burn injuries].
abstract: There is a large variety of topical application substances in the market for burnt areas treatment. This fact, far from being an advantage, turns into a serious problem when nursing staff has to choose the most adequate for each case. We think that, apart from a thorough knowledge of aspects such as indications and contraindications, application methods, combination with other substances and possible interactions, the formulation of a series of practical criteria can be of great help in order to select the right topical substance for the objectives pursued. This is the goal of this article.
