| Summary, etc. | Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe patient demographics, injuries, physiology and interventions performed by retrieval physicians in the care of burns patients in both a pre-hospital and interhospital setting.<br/>Methods: A retrospective review of patient records from a large Australian Helicopter Emergency Medical Service was conducted. Demographics, injury, burn type, physiology and intervention data were extracted into a database for statistical analysis. Basic descriptive statistics were calculated, and patient physiology measures were compared at arrival and destination.<br/>Results: A total of 490 burns cases were identified from a 5 year period (January 2010–August 2015). The majority (78.6%) were interhospital transfers conducted by road (49.4%) or helicopter (36.9%). Patients were predominantly men (75.7%) with a median age of 37 years (interquartile range [IQR] 23–50). Median estimated total body surface area burned was 15% (IQR 8.5–20) and<br/>18% (IQR 10–30) in pre-hospital and interhospital groups, respectively; however, retrieval physicians tended to overestimate total body surface area burned in comparison to destination burns units. Flash burn or explosion were the predominant aetiology of burn (49.4%), although the majority (95.3%) of patients had no associated traumatic injuries. Sixty patients were intubated by the Service. Escharotomies were performed on eight occasions resulting in improvement in circulation or ventilation. Overall mortality<br/>was 3.7% at 24 h.<br/>Conclusions: The Service cares for 80–100 burns patients annually, a proportion of whom require complex interventions such as intubation and escharotomy, which was performed by retrieval physicians appropriately.<br/>Associated traumatic injuries were infrequent in patients who sustained burns from flashes or explosions. |
