Abstract

The development of burn units in our country is now undergoing a trend of geographic centralization and regionalization. To solve the problems like severe burn patients are too far away from burn units, overloaded operation in regional burn centers when mass burn accidents happen, and growing requirement for aeromedical transportation, etc., it is now the top priority to improve national aeromedical transportation system for burn patients. Expert teams from Chinese Burn Association, National Aeromedical Rescue Base, and China Association for Disaster & Emergency Rescue Medicine discussed and reached a consensus on the key points of aeromedical transportation of burn patients, including organizational structure, staff and materials, and three links before, during, and after aeromedical transportation. The consensus aims to provide guidance for a safe, efficient, and standardized operation of aeromedical transportation for burn patients in China.
