        abstract = {Burn and wound injury is a prevalent and burdensome critical care issue. Furthermore, burn wounds are complex and present unique challenges that require specialized care to protect from microbial infection. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 3,00,000 deaths occur each year as a consequence of fire-induced burns. The burden of such injuries generally fall on poor patients as they cannot afford costly treatment. A primary contributing factor that leads to infection and finally to death in this population, is poor hygiene.4-5 Burn injury management is challenging, due to significant fluid loss, tissue damage and deep wounds, thus contributing to death. It is estimated that there are about 7 million burn injuries in India annually, of which 7,00,000 require hospitalisation and 1,40,000 are estimated to be fatal. According to the National Burns Programme data 91,000 of these deaths are of women. In cases of surgical site infection, the mortality rate resulted in 70-80%, where deep and extensive infection takes place during surgery. The high prevalence and death rate due to burn mandates the need for guidelines.},
