INTRODUCTION
Major
advances have been made in the management of burn
injury. However, optimum initial management is essential
for these new advances to be of benefit.
The
focus of this section will be on:
1.
Initial assessment and treatment of life threatening
problems of airway, breathing and circulation.
2.
Recognition of burn severity, depth, size, as well as
the initial wound management.
