Optimizing mass casualty burns intensive care organization and treatment using evidence-based outcome predictors
With increasing unrest in the world, trauma as a disease is an increasingly common entity [1]. Mass burns injuries (MBI) can place an extreme burden on the healthcare system of a country due to its high demand for nursing and medical care [2]. Much of the literature at present focuses on pre-hospital management of mass casualty events in recent history. There is a paucity of literature focusing on strategizing the use of intensive care units (ICU) in available in hospitals for mass casualty incidents (MCI) especially with regards to MBI.
