RESUMO
Burn care in the prehospital and emergency settings requires rapid assessment of airway, breathing, and circulation. Intubation (if indicated) and fluid resuscitation are most important in emergency burn care. Total body surface area burned and depth of burn are important early assessments that help guide resuscitation and disposition. Burn care in the emergency department further includes carbon monoxide and cyanide toxicity evaluation and management.
