Abstract
Burns is a preventable tragedy, which is unfortunately still common in India. The possibility of disfigurement, death and emotional trauma as a result of burns is a shattering experience to the victim as well as his/her family. Proper initial management can salvage many such unfortunate victims. Burns patients require close monitoring, barrier nursing and sympathetic attitude of medical and paramedical staff in a burns ICU to have a reasonable chance of survival.Entities:
