[Treatment of Burn Shock - The First 24 hours and Beyond]. / Die Therapie des Verbrennungsschocks ­ die ersten 24 h und darüber hinaus.

Acute phase and resuscitation after burn trauma are challenging even for specialised burn centres due to the individual onset and differences compared with other forms of shock. The guidelines of the German Society of Burn Medicine (DGV) cover the scientific basis of modern burn treatment. Nevertheless, uncertainty remains regarding the detailed practical handling. This expert consensus focuses on best practices for the treatment of patients with major burns in specialised burn centres and by clinical first responders.
