| ABA Burn Center Crisis Status Updates

    |
While COVID-19 is not directly a burn care issue, it is important that we attempt to track a basic set of data to help us gauge the impact we are already seeing that on how we deliver care and help us understand where our resources are stressed.
We have created a very short survey that we will send weekly on Fridays until the national emergency is lifted. The survey was sent via email to the burn center director and nurse leader in the ABA database. If you have not received the email, please contact abacentraloffice@ameriburn.org.
We have created a COVID-19 Resources Folder in the library of the All-Member community of myAmeriburn. We encourage you to review the resources and add in your own to share with ABA members! Login in using your ABA username and password.
If you need assistance, please contact abacentraloffice@ameriburn.org.
With so many people spending time at home, most don’t know that more than 73% of burn injuries occur in the home. We have created a few Burn Prevention Helpful Tips to keep families safe as they balance work and play within the home. Visit our Prevention Resources page for the helpful guides to share in your community. Also, watch for these on Facebook and Twitter and help get the word out by sharing them more broadly.

For his commitment, Knorrek received an Outstanding Member award from the St. Florian Fire and Burn Foundation, headquartered in Sioux City, Iowa.

Lung injury caused by chemical gas inhalation is a common clinically severe disease that very easily progresses to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Traditional respiratory support consists mainly of mechanical ventilation, but the prognosis of this condition is still poor. “Awake”extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) maintains oxygenation, improves ventilation, adequately allows the injured lungs to rest, and avoids complications associated with sedation, intubation, and mechanical ventilation.
