Abstract

Dressings are a real challenge in the care of patients with thermal burns. They help to heal and prevent or treat possible skin infections. Paramedical teams must have a perfect strategy for organizing, managing pain and optimizing hygiene and asepsis rules. The purpose is to facilitate the understanding and implementation of this treatment by suggesting protocols that can be applied by all. It remains essential to mobilize specialized services to promote the evolution of burns.

Keywords: brûlure grave; organisation; organization; pansement; protocol;; protocole; severe burn; soin.
