Acute Resuscitation and Transfer Management of Burned and Electrically Injured Patients,

Abstract

Optimal care of the thermally injured patient begins before the patient reaches the hospital and is usually provided by local fire or emergency medical services. Local treatment preferences, burn care protocols, and designation of appropriate receiving hospitals should be established to expedite prehospital burn care (1). Prehospital care should consist of stopping the burning process, conducting a primary and secondary survey to assess life-threatening injuries, and preparing for transport. JMD
