Book Chapter Description

Military operations and civilian mass casualty di sasters provide among the most difficult scenarios in burn-patient management. At the same time, they historically have also led to changes in care. The purpose of this chapter is to review experience with burn care during current combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to highlight the lessons learned from a century of major peacetime fire disasters.
