E-book Advanced Burn Life Support Course
Proper initial care of patients with major burns is key to their clinical outcomes. The early identification and control of airway and breathing problems help prevent early deaths. Initiating proper fluid resuscitation avoids major complications. Recognizing and treating associated injuries are also essential. Finally, prompt consultation with burn center staff in patients who meet referral criteria is also an important link in the chain of survival for major burns. Prior to initiating care, healthcare providers should take measures to reduce their own risk of exposure to infection and chemical contamination. Body Substance Isolation (BSI) is the most effective way, and includes use of gloves, eye wear, gowns and respiratory protection. The level of protection will depend on the patient presentation, the risk of exposure to body fluids and airborne pathogens, and/or chemical exposure.
