Abstract

Burn victims are among the most challenging patients to care for. Major burn patients require immediate attention for airway management, evaluation of inhalation injury, and fluid resuscitation. Patients with extensive burns usually require multiple procedures and extended hospital stays. In these patients, the evaluation of vascular access, availability of blood products, and determining where to place standard and advanced monitors are important in planning. Lastly, postoperative pain management and complications of prolonged mechanical ventilation are challenging issues that constantly need to be addressed.
