Burns represent one of the most complex surgical emergencies, affecting not only skin but every physiological system. This episode explores burn classification, assessment of depth and surface area, and the immediate priorities of resuscitation.

We discuss fluid management, airway risk, infection control, nutritional support, and the principles of burn surgery and rehabilitation. The episode also highlights the psychological impact of burns and the importance of multidisciplinary care.

This chapter teaches listeners to think beyond the wound — recognising burns as a systemic disease requiring precision, urgency, and compassion.
