Through current, evidence-based information, the EMS professional will discover proper acute care of the burn patient. This class will deliver case studies that highlight the role of EMS in the initial management of a burn patient including discussion of fluid resuscitation, intubation decisions, inhalation injuries, determining burn size, and treatment interventions. Acute burn care management of the patient with a thermal injury determines both short-term and long-term outcomes, including survivability.
