Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Burns are common occurrence and often the patient is rushed to a nearby medical practitioner or hospital for first aid. Some patients may receive first aid from their relatives or friends in correct or incorrect manner. Most of the time the first respondents in case of burns are family members, friends, by standers. Properly instituted first aid reduces the morbidity and even mortality in burn patients. Many simple interventions can make a great difference in the course of burns and improve patient outcome. This article is aimed to educate primary health care providers, accident and emergency departments, paramedicals and even the general public so that treatment for burn patients can start early.
