The early management of the severely burnt patient is prioritised according to the needs identified in the primary and secondary survey. Airway management, the commencement of fluid resuscitation, and pain management are prioritised, along with other emergency procedures such as escharotomy as required.

The main components of the early management of severe burn injuries are outlined in this section of the website.
