Description
Burn care in poor-resource settings needs guidance that bends to what is actually available, argue Hongyu Tang and colleagues in a 2026 evidence synthesis. They mined guidelines, consensus statements, and systematic reviews worldwide to assemble recommendations for the first phase of adult burn treatment.
Fifty-nine high-quality sources yielded 77 recommendations across 13 domains, from scene safety and stopping the burning through airway and circulation support to wound care and transfer preparation. The authors found a gap between written protocols and the staff, supplies, and systems that decide survival on the ground. Their framework tiers actions by resources, prioritizing the ABC steps that save lives while patients await transfer.
