Abstract
Several burn societies have published precise criteria of when a patient needs to be referred to a burn center. In the presented series, patients that were primarily treated at a BICU showed significantly better outcomes regarding several parameters. In order to further optimize treatment of burn patients it therefore appears that precise initial assessment and if appropriate respective primary transport to dedicated burn centers needs to be re-emphasized, especially among first- and emergency care providers.
