AB  - A  burn  patient  is  a  trauma  patient;  therefore,  other  injuries  should  be  expected  and  sought.Endotracheal  tubes  should  be  large  enough  to  allow  ventilation  and  pulmonary  toilet.Hypothermia  is  a  major  concern,  and  early,  aggressive  attempts  at  prevention  are  required.Modification  of  the  standard  lactated  Ringer's  resuscitation  is  often  necessary  in  the  massive  burn  or  inhalation  injury  patient  or  in  the  very  young  and  old.  Additions  of  colloid,  blood,  and  inotropes  are  often  very  useful  in  restoring  hemodynamic  stability.  Fluid  formulas  should  not  be  rigid.It  is  important  to  watch  for  local  perfusion  problems  and  chest  wall  restriction  caused  by  the  burn.The  burn  itself  is  a  low  priority  for  initial  care.
