[Inter-hospital transportation of burned patients].

The treatment of burned patients is frequently carried out under compulsion in more phases. The prognosis may be favourably influenced by the expert intervention in due time, on the other side deteriorated by transport in critical condition without adequate preparation. The optimal time of the secondary transport corresponds approximately with the end of the critical condition. Authors describe the criteria on the basis of which the condition of the burned patient may be considered as stable during the period of the transport to be expected. The necessary measures during the primary hospital treatment are enumerated.
