In this episode, the team turns their focus to major burns, one of the most complex and confronting presentations in pre-hospital care.

They discuss what defines a major burn, the systemic cascade that follows large TBSA injuries, and key priorities including early cooling, analgesia, fluid management, airway considerations, hypothermia prevention and transport decisions.

A practical refresher for clinicians who may not see major burns often but need to manage them well when they do.
