Burn: epidemiology, evaluation, organisation of care. Burn is a trauma regarding 9 000 inpatients a year in France. One third of them are infants (less than 5 years). Burn occurs seasonally and on basis of an emergency admittance. For the non-specialist, the main goal is to estimate burn area the most accurately possible (new technologies can help) and recognize signs of seriousness in order to guide the patient at best. Despite a strict and rigorous organization of burn care promoted by French healthcare regulatory authorities, more than 50% of inpatient is admitted outside burn centers (ie non specialized units). |
