Here is a brief (13 minutes)video lecture on burns. I discuss:
Initial management, including airway, fluid resuscitation, analgesia, dressing as well as the assessment of area and depth of burns.
A video of this length can’t cover the absolute details but it does look at:
- Indicators of inhalational burns
- What constitutes a major burn
- How to approach fluid resuscitation
- Who to transfer to a burns unit
A reference site as well as somewhere to do courses on burns management is Australian and New-Zealand Burns Association site www.anzba.org.au
