This guide provides emergency physicians with the essential objectives for evaluating and managing burn trauma. It covers the determination of burn severity and extent, diagnosis of complications, and implementation of initial management strategies. Key considerations include approaches to fluid resuscitation using the Parkland formula, recognition of patients at risk for complications like inhalation injury, and critical initial treatment protocols. Aimed at enhancing clinical decision-making in burn care, this resource supports effective outcomes for burn patients.
