Characteristics of Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) Interventions for Burn Patients-A Four-Year Retrospective Analysis.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 180,000 patients die from burns every year, which is considered a serious public health issue. Patients with burns require immediate pre-hospital care and transport to specialized treatment facilities. The aim of this study was to outline the profile of the burn patient from the perspective of the Polish Medical Air Rescue (PMAR), as well as to analyze the medical procedures being implemented.

Pain management in children with burns before admission to the ward: Analysis of selected parts of pre-hospital medical records.

Background: The extent of pre-hospital medical care (PHMC) given to burned patients affects both the patient's condition and the effectiveness of treatment.

Objectives: To improve the quality of PHMC of burns in children, based upon an analysis of the selected parts of pre-hospital medical records, with particular emphasis on analgesia.

Material And Methods: Medical records were used to analyze how PHMC was given to 117 burned children aged 0-18 years, treated at the Pediatric Surgery Ward between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2017.
