Name of journal: The Surgical clinics of North AmericaAbstract: In some circumstances, burn care must be delivered in a simple manner without the luxury of modern resources. Such circumstances include care in low- and middle-income countries, war zones, and mass casualty incidents. Triage decisions need to be made carefully, allowing the focus of limited personnel and equipment on those most likely to survive. Simple techniques can be used to help many burn victims, such as utilizing oral resuscitation formulas for burn resuscitation. Although even the best attempts at preparation often fall short, there are many benefits from planning and training. Copyright 2014 Elsevier Inc.
