Podcast #407: Choose your own blister adventure

Author: Don Stader, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Three options for a blister in partial thickness burns: do nothing, unroof it, or poke a hole in it
  • Recent study suggest that aspirating the blister may be more effective in regards to wound healing
  • The overlying skin acts as a bio-band-aid and patients recover slightly faster
