Wilderness Medical Society Clinical Practice Guideline on Care of Burns in the Wilderness
To provide guidance to clinicians about best practices in caring for burn patients in remote settings, the Wilderness Medical Society convened an expert panel to develop an evidence-based clinical practice guideline. Recommendations for field-expedient care are made, with recommendations being graded using the American College of Chest Physicians criteria for the quality of supporting evidence and balance of risks and potential harms of treatment.
