While this is the case, the affected patients require a multidisciplinary approach for treatment requiring significant medical, social support and psychological occupational. An increased awareness What is missing is if such a triage is possible in an ER situation. Finally, in a study published in the journal CME, the treatment of burn injury was examined with regard to pathophysiology, treatment options and burns that are treatable by the practice of plastic surgeon. This triage to plastic surgery is helpful, but it is needed for larger full size burns as well.

These articles are similar with regard to the triage aspect, but differ in the different settings. (Grunwald & Garner, 2008, 311e-312e).

Application to Clinical Practice and Conclusion

This information and literature review is useful to any clinical practice, ER, or intensive care setting. It will also be useful to this author in the future as a benchmark as to how to properly treat full thickness burns in adults. However, more information is needed as to developing a complete triage system that can be used across clinical settings. Standardization...

This is where future research needs to be focused in order to get the best outcome from limited resources for research into this issue. This full systems approach eliminates bad snap judgments in triage situation where there are numerous individuals to diagnose, treat and possible evacuate from the scene or send from an emergency room to intensive care or a higher level burn unit at another hospital. However, standardization will also help smooth operations in normal clinical settings as well.
