Further resuscitation room procedures
A number of miscellaneous procedures are carried out in the resuscitation room:
- if there are circumferential burns, incision may be required - escharotomy. This is particularly relevant for the neck when pressure on the larynx may be relieved.
- the patient should also receive tetanus prophylaxis before transfer to the admitting team.
