In a Level-1 trauma center an interdisciplinary team of plastic surgeons, neonatologists and gynecologists was organized to deliver best patient care. Conclusion: This case presents a challenging situation with an intubated analgosedated pregnant woman, limiting treatment options. On admission a prompt cesarean delivery was performed to guard the unborn child. To shorten the hospital stay, a novel Bromelain based enzymatic debridement was performed on the full thickness burn wounds with immediate skin grafting.
