Management of burns in childhood

Burns in children are unfortunately common. They are most common in preschool children with almost two-thirds occurring in children under 5 years of age. Management of severe burns is truly interdisciplinary, with children often requiring acute medical, nursing and surgical care. Optimal care requires treatment in primary, secondary and tertiary care settings and involves primary care health professionals, emergency services, emergency department health care professionals, paediatricians and paediatric surgical teams.
