Optimizing Mass Casualty Burns Intensive Care Organization and Treatment Using Evidence-Based Outcome Predictors

Kao, H., Loh, C., Kou, H., et al. (2018). Optimizing Mass Casualty Burns Intensive Care Organization and Treatment Using Evidence-Based Outcome Predictors. (Abstract only.) Burns. 44(5): 1077-1082.
Of the 52 burn injury patients who required intensive care after a mass casualty incident, 44,2% received escharotomies; patients had a mean of nearly 15 days on mechanical ventilation; and each patient received an average of two grafting procedures. The authors emphasize the need to incorporate these findings into hospital preparedness plans.
