简介
This study sought to assess the validity of independent, blinded reporting of Laser Doppler Imaging (LDI) prediction of burn wound outcome in children. Two experienced paediatric burn consultants were invited to report on LDI scans performed routinely within 3 days of burn. They were provided with the LDI flux image, a low-resolution colour digital photograph of the burnt area and a basic history. Report predictions were correlated with outcome. Reports were compiled on 50 scans performed on 31 patients at a mean of 54h post burn. Of the 100 reports generated, mean correlation with outcome was 97%. If the LDI predicted a deep burn, it was always correct. Non-correlations were due to a number of factors including inadequate scanning of the affected area, excessive movement and residual wound debris. Accurate prediction of burn wound outcome could be made via the standard information generated by LDI …
