title: Call for help: an algorithm for burn assessment, triage, and acute care.
abstract: Because of the Medical College of Georgia Burn Treatment Center frequently received patients with extensive burns who had been badly managed locally, we devised an Algorithm to provide health care professionals a logical method for assessment, triage and obtaining help. Limited experience suggests that the Algorithm does, in fact, accomplish these ends but that continued evaluation of its efficacy is necessary.
