Trauma system management of adults with severe burns in Victoria, Australia.
Heather ClelandPeter A CameronBelinda GabbePublished in: Emergency medicine Australasia : EMA (2024)
Severe burns are uncommon injuries with high mortality. There is a high rate of adherence to VSTS guidelines for managing patients with severe burns, and a decrease in patients requiring transfer associated with an increase in acceptable time to a trauma-receiving hospital. The VSTS operates to deliver almost all patients with severe burns to the definitive burns service efficiently.
