The treatment of burn wounds is subject to a defined management which can be divided into preclinical treatment, emergency room management, and the clinical phase. A decisive factor for the care of a burn patient is correct assessment of the extent of the burn injury. At the location of the accident, vital functions, i.v. catheters, fluid management, the decision for intubation, and sufficient pain control are crucial. The admission of patients to the emergency room should be subject to a standardized protocol, which is quickly and effectively performed by an interdisciplinary team. Emergency room management consists of a mechanical cleaning and subsequent accurate assessment of the extent of the burn injury, monitoring of vital functions, diagnosis and treatment of an inhalation injury as well as associated injuries, and the appropriate care of the burn wounds.
