Summary

This study tests whether giving antibiotics before burn surgery lowers the chance of infections afterward. About 506 adults with burns covering 5% to 40% of their body will take part. Half will get antibiotics, half a placebo, and doctors will watch for infections, sepsis, and graft problems. The goal is to find a clear answer to a long-debated question in burn care.
