MANAGING AND TREATING 1^ST, 2^ND, AND 3^RD DEGREE BURNS

We just don't know when we will be called upon in an emergency to help someone, a friend, a family member, a neighbor. The more we learn, the better prepared we will be.  This video runs approximately 13 minutes and includes burns from many sources. WARNING: These videos were developed by the military for medical providers. The military situations are real and can be quite graphic. Not for the faint of heart.

This is an incredible site for medical education. You can view dozens of videos on treatment procedures for burns, eye injuries, how to use a tourniquet, emergency childbirth, patient recovery and transport, and much, much more.

These videos were produced by the military and others, and are offered free to the public. They are short, to the point, and incredibly useful.
