Clinical Approach to Burns and Thermal Injury
The majority of small burns can be effectively treated in an outpatient setting and recover with no need for intervention. A precise classification of burns is essential to ensuring appropriate care. Thermal burns are injuries to the skin brought on by extreme heat, usually from coming into touch with hot objects, liquids, steam, or flames. The majority of burns are not severe, and patients can receive care at nearby hospitals or as outpatients. Specialized burn centers treat about 6.5 percent of all burn cases. The amount of burned body surface area, the degree of the burns, and the unique characteristics of each patient—such as age, previous injuries, or other medical issues—are taken into consideration when deciding whether to transfer and treat a patient at a burn center.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
Sleep Apnea and Daytime Fatigue
