  • Prompt and vigorous fluid resuscitation is a cornerstone of initial management.
  • Patient disposition (outpatient vs. inpatient) is determined by burn size and functional area involvement.

    • Conclusions:

    • ED treatment requires a systematic approach to burn injuries, prioritizing fluid resuscitation.
    • Appropriate patient selection for inpatient admission is crucial for optimal recovery, especially for extensive or functionally critical burns.
