[Management of the patient with serious burns at admission].
The first hours of care and treatment are determined by the quality of the preparation on a logistical, organisational and environmental level. The future of a patient with serious burns is at stake in these first few hours. The risk of threat to life is linked to potential vascular compressions, as well as cardio-respiratory failure.The occurrence of these complications can be prevented by the setting up of codified instrumental and clinical monitoring.
