Burn Management
Nearly half a million severe burn injuries are treated each year at hospitals throughout the United States. Burn injuries are a form of trauma that can be very distracting to you as an EMS provider because of the look and smell of the burn. These injuries have high mortality rates and can result in lengthy rehabilitation, cosmetic disfigurement, psychosocial problems, and permanent physical disabilities for the patient. When providing emergency care for these types of injuries, it is vital to focus on the treatment of life-threatening injuries, if they are present, even though the burn may consume your attention. In the interactive online course you will learn how about the classifications and characteristics of burns and how to identify the severity will aid in your medical care of the burns.
