With our country going into the aging soeiety,burns in the elderly often occur.Studies have shown that the number of elderly burn patients has reached 13％ to 20％ of the total number of burn patients.As the sensory and cognitive functions are low,skin is thinning,the functions of heart,lung,and kidney are reduced,the immunity is impaired,and other physiological characteristics exist in the elderly,the wounds of elderly burn patients often heal slowly,and the mortality is high.At present,there is still a lack of enough attention to the elderly burn patients.In this review,according to the physiological characteristics of the elderly,for reference to our peers,we make a summary of the treatment of elderly burn patients,such as fluid resuscitation,wound treatment,acute kidney injury management,infection management,and nutritional support.
