Joint Theater Trauma System Implementation of Burn Resuscitation Guidelines Improves Outcomes in Severely Burned Military Casualties

The composite endpoint of abdominal compartment syndrome and mortality was significantly lower in the BRG group compared with the control group (p = 0.03). Implementation of the BRG and system-wide standardization of burn resuscitation improved outcomes in severely burned patients. Utilization of the joint theater trauma system to implement system-wide guidelines is effective and can help improve outcomes.
