Brief Summary:
This cross-sectional study investigates pre-hospital practices among burn patients presenting to a tertiary care center in Nepal. It examines first aid measures, timelines to medical care, resuscitation protocols, and factors contributing to delays. Findings aim to highlight gaps in burn care and inform strategies to improve patient outcomes and management practices in resource-limited settings.
Detailed Description:
Burn injuries are a major public health concern in low- and middle-income countries, contributing significantly to morbidity and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost. This study focuses on understanding the pre-hospital care practices among burn patients in Nepal, a region with limited burn care resources and high incidence rates. Using structured interviews and clinical data, the study explores the type and adequacy of first aid provided, factors influencing delays in accessing tertiary care, and the effectiveness of initial resuscitation. By identifying gaps in awareness, infrastructure, and healthcare delivery, the study seeks to propose actionable recommendations for enhancing burn care systems and improving outcomes for burn patients in Nepal.
