Burn Treatment Protocols

Burn treatment protocols involve assessing the severity of the burn—classified as first, second, or third degree. For minor burns, cool the area with running water and cover it with a clean bandage. For more severe burns, avoid home remedies and seek medical attention. Healthcare professionals may clean the wound, apply topical ointments, and bandage it properly. Pain management and monitoring for infection are essential. In some cases, specialized care, such as skin grafting, may be necessary. Emergency response guidelines also emphasize avoiding further injury and protecting the affected area until professional help is available.
