Main Results:

  • Minor burns are typically managed in outpatient settings.
  • Moderate burns are treated at community hospitals.
  • Major burns necessitate transfer to a regional burn unit post-stabilization.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of pediatric burns depends on accurate assessment of severity.
  • Early and appropriate medical intervention, including specialized care, is vital for improving outcomes.
  • Standardized treatment pathways ensure optimal care for children with burn injuries.
