DOI: https://doi.org/10.7175/cmi.v5i2S.1114
Abstract
Here we describe the assistential complexity in an Internal Medicine Division via a multidisciplinary approach taking care of a burned woman. She was transferred in our Division after 90 days of hospitalisation in an Intensive Care Unit from an important centre for burned people for the treatment of burns on 35-40% of the body surface area. We analyse the therapeutic strategies and nursing management in a case complicated by polymicrobial infections: Acinetobacter baumanii and Providencia stuartii on burns, Escherichia coli on respiratory system and Clostridium difficile on enteric apparatus.
