Management
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
Assess and stabilize the patient's airway, breathing and circulation.
If inhalation injury is suspected, consider early intubation.
Obtain vascular access IV/IO fluid resuscitation.
Use Parkland formula for fluid resuscitation guidelines.
Stop or extinguish the burning process.
Remove the patient from the burning source and remove burth clothing and jewelty (unless it is stuck to the patient).
Chemical burns - try to obtain specific information about the chemical.
Irrigate if indicated, brush off dry powders.
Always take precautions to not become contaminated.
Cooling reduces burn depth and pain, but care must be taken, as uncontrolled cooling can result in hypothermia.
Treat pain with appropriate analgesics.
