Abstract
(type = abstract)
Initial management of burn patients involves the calculation of total body surface area burned and subsequent fluid management; a series of events which when performed incorrectly leads to complications for the patients. Proper education of graduate level health care practitioner students through an educational module is a solution to the miscalculation of total body surface area burned. A convenience sample of graduate level health care practitioner students was used to implement a burn education module via an online classroom platform. There, students learned how to calculate total body surface area burned using the Lund-Browder chart. It was expected for students to gain knowledge in the care of burn patients as well as experience an increased confidence to care for these patients. Care of the burn patient is essential for all personnel. It is heightened for those in New Jersey who may need to respond in the event of a Mass Casualty incident where burn patients will be placed in a variety of hospitals throughout the state according to the Eastern Regional Burn Disaster Consortium. The education resulted in Graduate level nurse practitioner students being able to more accurately determine the total body surface area burned as well as fluid requirements as compared to previous research. The participants also experienced an increased confidence level to care for burn patients after completion of the educational module. This educational module focused on graduate level healthcare providers with the ability to be implemented in other disciplines in the future, further decreasing the morbidity and mortality associated with incorrect calculation of total body surface area burned.
