Burn injuries represent a diverse and varied challenge to medical and paramedical staff. The management of burns and their sequelae in a well-equipped, modern burns unit remains demanding despite advances in surgical techniques and development of tissue-engineered biomaterials; in a developing country, these difficulties are amplified many times. Sri Lanka has a high incidence of burn-related injuries annually due to a combination of adverse social, economic and cultural factors. The management of burn injuries remains a formidable public health problem. The epidemiology of burns, challenges faced in their management and effective strategies specific to Sri Lanka, such as the Safe Bottle Lamp campaign, are highlighted in this paper.
烧伤对医疗和辅助医疗人员来说是一项多样且复杂的挑战。尽管外科技术有所进步以及组织工程生物材料得到了发展，但在设备精良的现代烧伤病房中，烧伤及其后遗症的治疗仍然具有很高的要求；在发展中国家，这些困难更是成倍增加。由于不利的社会、经济和文化因素的综合影响，斯里兰卡每年烧伤相关损伤的发生率很高。烧伤的治疗仍然是一个严峻的公共卫生问题。本文重点介绍了烧伤的流行病学、治疗中面临的挑战以及斯里兰卡特有的有效策略，如安全瓶灯运动。
