Table 4 Consensus statements and agreement on post-enzymatic debridement wound care.
| No | Statement | Agreement | Likert scale | Consensus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | Local evaluation by an experienced member of the burn team is crucial in terms of adopting the right approach to post-enzymatic debridement wound management | 100% | 4/5 strongly agree1/5 agree | Yes |
| 16 | The color of the wound bed and post-enzymatic debridement bleeding patterns play an important role in burn wound depth diagnosis | 100% | 5/5 strongly agree | Yes |
| 17 | The key aspect of post-enzymatic debridement wound management involves preventing the wound from drying and keeping the wound moist | 100% | 5/5 strongly agree | Yes |
| 18 | Full-thickness wounds require early skin grafting | 100% | 4/5 strongly agree1/5 somewhat agree | Yes |
| 19 | Special dressings (eg, silicone, hydrocolloid, or membrane dressings) or allografts are recommended for use if epithelialization is expected or as a means of preparing the wound for grafting | 100% | 3/5 strongly agree1/5 agree1/5 somewhat agree | Yes |
| 20 | If pseudoeschar lasts >14 days, repeated wound debridement needs to be considered | 100% | 4/5 strongly agree1/5 agree | Yes |
| 21 | If epithelialization fails to progress for 21 days in partial-thickness wounds, autologous skin grafts need to be considered | 100% | 5/5 strongly agree | Yes |
