Abstract
in English, French

Disaster situations involving mass burn casualties can occur at any time after a fire, a terrorist attack, an industrial explosion or a transport accident. The various burn societies in the world published recommendations on disaster burn-care planning. French burn society (Société Française d'Étude et de Traitement des Brûlures-SFETB) proposes triage of burned victims according to Total Burn Surface Area (TBSA), inhalation injury and associated traumatic injuries. This plan seeks to classify victims and to refer each burned patient to a bed suited to its needs (burn centre, surgical or medical ICU, Emergency room, surgical ward and triage). Emergency Medical Services play a pivotal role in this organisation: first care, advanced medical post, medical coordination, triage and transportation, additional equipment supply in proximal hospital. Burn disaster plan should be adapted to local medical resources.

Les situations de catastrophe impliquant un grand nombre de brûlés peuvent survenir à tout moment après un incendie, une attaque terroriste, une explosion industrielle ou un accident de transport. Les différentes sociétés internationales de brûlologie ont publié des recommandations sur la préparation à l’afflux massif de brûlés. La Société Française d’Étude et de Traitement des Brûlés (SFETB) propose le triage des victimes selon la Surface Cutanée Brûlée (SCB), l’inhalation de fumées et les lésions traumatiques associées. Ce plan cherche à catégoriser les victimes et à attribuer à chaque patient un lit adapté à ses besoins thérapeutiques (centre des brûlés, réanimation médicale ou chirurgicale, service d’urgences, chirurgie, poste de triage). Les Services d’Aide Médicale Urgente (SAMU) sont au coeur du dispositif : premiers soins, poste Médical Avancé (pMA), régulation, triage et transport, renfort en matériel dans l’hôpital de proximité. Un plan catastrophe pour brûlés doit être adapté aux capacités hospitalières du pays.
