Medical Training AIBurn Assessment and Management
Assess burn depth and size, initiate correct fluid resuscitation, and decide when transfer to a burn center is warranted.
What this track covers
This track covers thermal injury from first assessment through disposition: classifying burn depth, estimating total body surface area, guiding initial wound care and fluid management, and recognizing special situations like inhalation injury and pediatric or elderly patients. It's built for clinicians who manage burns in the emergency or urgent care setting and need to move quickly from assessment to a clear treatment plan.
What you will practice
- Distinguish superficial, partial-thickness, and full-thickness burns on exam
- Estimate total body surface area using standard methods
- Sequence initial management: airway check, cooling, wound coverage
- Apply a fluid resuscitation formula and identify monitoring endpoints
- Recognize burn center transfer criteria and inhalation injury red flags
Simulator scenario
A patient presents after a kitchen scald injury with mixed partial- and full-thickness burns, requiring the clinician to estimate TBSA, start resuscitation, and decide on transfer.
Board question topics
- Burn depth classification and TBSA estimation
- Fluid resuscitation strategy and monitoring
- Inhalation injury recognition
- Burn center transfer criteria
