Episode 4: Air Ambulance Services, Combat Casualties, and Temperature Management in Burn Centers

In this episode of the JBCR podcast, Digital Media Editor Dr. Katie Romanowski highlights four articles from the July/August issue. She begins by summarizing articles on the ability of pre-burn center providers to accurately predict percent total body surface area burned, the use of a silver nylon dressing for the transport of injured combat casualties, and the appropriate use of air ambulance services at a regional burn center. Dr. Romanowski then interviews Drs. Julie Rizzo, Kevin Chung, and Kaitlin Pruskowski about their group’s article from this issue, ͞A survey of temperature management practices among burn centers in North America.͟ They discuss some details of the paper as well as the importance of temperature management in burn patients and how to move forward with their research into how temperature is maintained in burn patients.
