This document provides guidance on the emergency management of pediatric burns. It discusses that burns are a leading cause of injury and death in children. The majority of burned children are initially seen in emergency departments. It describes classifying burns as superficial, partial thickness, or full thickness and calculating the total body surface area involved. The initial assessment of a burned child includes airway, breathing, circulation, depth and extent of burns, and obtaining medical history. Appropriate fluid resuscitation based on burn size and the modified Parkland formula is critical to manage fluid loss from large burns.
