This study aimed to evaluate the impact of interprofessional in situ simulations on the technical and non-technical skills of pediatric burn teams in acute burn management. ⋯ The interprofessional in situ simulations did not improve the burn teams' acute burn management; however, according to a self-report, burn team members were satisfied with the interprofessional in situ simulation experiences and achieved their own gains.

The antimicrobial properties of bromelain have been previously studied. However, the effect of enzymatic debridement on bacterial colonisation in burn wounds was not described in literature. ⋯ Our results showed that the microbial profile of burn wounds treated with NexoBrid® is similar to what is widely reported in cases treated without enzymatic debridement, at all stages of wound healing. This particularly showed in the predominance of Gram-positive organisms in the first week and Gram-negative in the second week.
