Bonus Episode - Burns with James Bonnamy
With a surge in severe burns since stage-3 lockdown, This Emergency Life thought it was a good time to bring you an update on managing burn injury patients in the emergency department. Last week we spoke with James Bonnamy who is a Monash Nursing and Midwifery lecturer and Clinical Nurse Specialist at the Victorian Adult Burns Service - Alfred Hospital in Victoria.
James shared his thoughts (evidence-based of course) on the ABCs, goals of care and how to prepare your patients for transfer to a specialist service such as The Alfred. James also points us at a great reference for the initial management of severe burns.
