Emergency Department treatment, triage and transfer protocols for the burn patient.
Emergency department treatment, triage and transfer protocols for patients with major thermal injury have been devised by the three burn centers in Virginia. A burn nurse educator has presented these guidelines to the emergency departments of Virginia. The development of these protocols has considerably improved the immediate care of the victims of thermal injury who are transferred to the burn centers in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
