Abstract

A multidisciplinary approach by the staffs of the Emergency Department and the Regional Burn Center saved the life of a burn patient with an inhalation injury and pancreatitis. This successful treatment is attributed to ventilatory management using fibreoptic bronchoscopy in the Emergency Department, followed by burn eschar excision with coverage by cultured skin and non-operative management of an enlarging pseudocyst by percutaneous transgastric drainage.
