Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Cardiac or pulmonary arrest at the scene of a house fire can be associated with cerebral anoxia in burn patients, and this may influence further treatment decisions. Our experience with such patients supports an aggressive initial approach to resuscitation in paediatric burn patients with a history of prehospital cardiac or respiratory arrest.
