To assess the accuracy of a Laser Doppler Line Scanner (LDLS) in predicting burn wound healing in children compared to conventional Laser Doppler Imaging (LDI). ⋯ The LDLS was found to be as accurate as the LDI in predicting burn wound HP in children. Whilst the LDLS scan resolution was lower, with more scans of larger burns required, its smaller size and greater scan speed proved valuable in children.

The aim was to review the use and indications of cultured allogenic keratinocytes (CAlloK) in extensive burns and their efficiency. ⋯ The CAlloK allow rapid healing of STSG donor-sites and deep 2nd second degree burns in extensively burned patients.
