Management of the Patient With
a Burn Injury
Burn
care must be planned according to the burn depth and local response, the extent
of the injury, and the presence of a systemic response. Burn care then proceeds
through three phases: emergent/ resuscitative phase, acute/intermediate phase,
and rehabilitation phase. Although priorities exist for each of the phases, the
phases overlap, and assessment and management of specific problems and
complications are not limited to these phases but take place throughout burn
care. The three phases and the priorities for care are summarized in Table
57-2.
