ORGAN DONATION
Most popular organ donation in terms of life-saving is blood and hence most meaningful
Eye donation is fast becoming popular, and one is aware of the possibility to donate eyes after death
Kidneys and liver are donated as well but this is less common due to complexities involved
The next achievable organ donation will be human skin. Hence the concept of SKIN BANK

SKIN BANKING
THE PURPOSE BEHIND…
![Page 4: Setting up a Skin Bank](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103114/5551188cb4c905f10b8b502a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
SKIN BANKING:
Skin banking is a facility where the skin is collected from eligible deceased donor and processed as per international protocols.
Skin can be stored in the skin bank at 4-80 Celsius up to 5 years.
![Page 5: Setting up a Skin Bank](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103114/5551188cb4c905f10b8b502a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
THE RATIONALITY OF THE PROJECT:
In case of extensive burns, the protective barrier- skin is burnt.
Leading to infection, in most cases becomes fatal.
Patients can be saved if we have enough skin in Skin bank.
![Page 6: Setting up a Skin Bank](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103114/5551188cb4c905f10b8b502a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM
The estimated annual burn incidence in India is approximately 6-7 million per year.
Nearly 1 to 1.5 lac people get crippled and require multiple surgeries and prolonged rehabilitation
Seventy percent of the burn victims are in most productive age group of 15 to 40 years .
most of the patients belong to poor socioeconomic strata.

NEED OF SKIN BANK
Lesser hospital stay. Cost of treatment goes down. Reduced pain. Increased survival rate. Results in less scarring

WHY DOES ONE NEED DONATED SKIN AFTER MAJOR BURN??
![Page 9: Setting up a Skin Bank](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103114/5551188cb4c905f10b8b502a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SKIN
The body’s first line of defense
Is water proof and prevents infection from entering the body
When severely damaged, the defense mechanism breaks down
If untreated, bacterial infection, dehydration, loss of protein and electrolytes takes place
Ultimately the victim dies

CONCLUSION
Half of the burn patients who are dying now can be saved if more skin banks are established in the country to collect more skin for covering extensive burn wound after early excision.
Early removal of dead skin and homografting will lead to quicker healing with less scar.
