Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Burn injuries are a major public health concern in low- and middle-income countries, contributing significantly to morbidity and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost. This study focuses on understanding the pre-hospital care practices among burn patients in Nepal, a region with limited burn care resources and high incidence rates. Using structured interviews and clinical data, the study explores the type and adequacy of first aid provided, factors influencing delays in accessing tertiary care, and the effectiveness of initial resuscitation. By identifying gaps in awareness, infrastructure, and healthcare delivery, the study seeks to propose actionable recommendations for enhancing burn care systems and improving outcomes for burn patients in Nepal.
