Synonym(s):
The SGH Burns Centre is a tertiary referral facility and will only accept burned patients requiring specialised care, and these are confined to patients with the following injuries :
  • burns in adults > 15% TBSA or in children > 10% requiring fluid resuscitation
  • burns involving special areas like the face, hands and perineum
  • burns with an inhalational component / respiratory component
  • burns resulting from electricity, chemicals or molten metals
  • delayed or neglected burns with a deep-dermal or full-thickness component requiring surgery
  • Strict admission criteria limit unneccesary admissions to minimize cross-contamination and to enable medical and nursing staff to concentrate on major burns patients and those patients who are critically-ill.
