Abstract
Burns are one of the most feared and misunderstood traumatic injuries. They are a breed of trauma in which a patient can come in talking and yet succumb to their injuries within 24-48 hours if the physician is not diligent. This chapter is meant to provide a guidebook to those who do not treat burns every day. It is for the physician who finds themself in over their head and has to take care of a severely burned patient for the first several days following injury. We will tell you how to stabilize, resuscitate, initiate wound care, and initially treat inhalational injuries so that your patient can be delivered to a burn center with the best possible chance of an excellent outcome.
