Part 2: Pre-hospital Burns with Krissie Stiles

In this conversation, we will examine the second part of the
conversation with Krissie Stiles. In this episode, we look at the
pain management, cooling, and safe transportation of burns. We
then examine the complications, prevention strategies,
coordination with burn centres, psychological impacts on patients
and families, and continued care and rehabilitation in the
conversation. We finally look at the training requirements,
quality improvement processes, and memorable or challenging cases
that our guest have treated and attended. As we delve into
various aspects of pre-hospital burn care, from initial
management to long-term outcomes, highlighting best practices,
advancements, and real-world experiences.


 To do this I am joined by Kristina Stiles. Kristina is a
nurse with burns and plastic surgery qualifications since 2003
and an MSc in Burn Care since 2019. She has led quality
improvement projects developing Clinical Practice Guidelines and
patient information initiatives. Kristina founded the British
Burn Association’s Pre-Hospital Special Interest Group,
collaborating across various specialities. Her award-winning
projects include "The Burns Game," "Family Oops and Burns First
Aid," and the "Saving Lives is Not Enough" report. An advocate
for patient voices, she has received awards for "Outstanding
Patient Care," "Innovation in Care," and "Effective Burn Care,"
and is an Ambassador of the Children's Burns Trust.
