John Hopkins Hospital, located in Baltimore, Maryland, is rated as one of the top hospitals in the United States.
The link below is to an article published in Hopkins Medicine Magazine, Summer 2020 edition.
Hanging Tough tells the story of Pierre Gibbons, who suffered severe burns after running into a burning building to save a neighbour.
Following his admission to John Hopkins Hospital Burn Centre, Gibbons suffered kidney failure, multiple strokes and pancreatitis. The cadaver skin grafts used to protect his wounds repeatedly failed, infected by multidrug-resistant pneumonia and blood-related infections in his body. Three weeks in, Gibbons’ likelihood of death was assessed to be around 98%.
That was when
Pushed beyond standard of care, Burn Center physicians tried a one-two punch they’d never thrown before. They used a pair of new products, a synthetic skin substitute called BTM (for biodegradable temporizing matrix) and ReCell, a device that grows new skin cells from a patient’s own tissue.
Warning: This article is rather long and it might just make you shed a tear….
