Outcomes of using Cultured Epidermal Autograft (CEA) and autologous spray cell suspension (ASCS) in addition to split thickness skin graft (STSG) on the same burn wound: Grady Hospital experience

Burns represent a major public health problem worldwide, accounting for thousands of deaths annually (World Health Organization). When dealing with large burns we tend to have limited resources when covering up the wound areas because of lack of skin; at that point is where other technologies come into play. Cultured Epidermal Autograft (CEA) and Autologous Spray Cell Suspension (ASCS) are both useful autologous technologies that we use to help patients with limited donor sites. However, we have not identified any published cases where both products are used in the same burn. In this case report we present the methods of treatment and outcomes for 2 cases that were treated with both CEA and ASCS.
