Severe Burn Trauma: Pathophysiology, Rescue and Collaborative Care

Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

This session covers differentiating first- through fourth-degree burns, body surface area, provider safety and resuscitation goals. We evaluate advanced support in burn trauma with protocol-directed volume resuscitation, hemodynamic/ventilatory support and complex wound care/escharotomy management both within and outside burn centers. A high-level case study features cardiopulmonary support, complex wound care, interdisciplinary care, analgesia and the APRN's role.

Objectives

Analyze clinical findings of severe burn trauma in the context of team safety priorities, patient proinflammatory state and management.
Correlate severe burn trauma management with integrated protocol-directed, physiological-based volume resuscitation/pharmacological support.
Plan care for severe burn trauma including volume resuscitation, pharmacological/pulmonary support, analgesia and complex wound management.
