Practice guidelines (PGs) are recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of
diseases and injuries, and are designed to define optimal evaluation and
management. The first PGs for burn care addressed the issues encountered in
developed countries, lacking consideration for circumstances in resource-limited
settings (RLS). Thus, the mission of the 2014-2016 committee established by the
International Society for Burn Injury (ISBI) was to create PGs for burn care to
improve the care of burn patients in both RLS and resource-abundant settings. An
important component of this effort is to communicate a consensus opinion on
recommendations for burn care for different aspects of burn management. An
additional goal is to reduce costs by outlining effective and efficient
recommendations for management of medical problems specific to burn care. These
recommendations are supported by the best research evidence, as well as by expert
opinion. Although our vision was the creation of clinical guidelines that could
be applicable in RLS, the ISBI PGs for Burn Care have been written to address the
needs of burn specialists everywhere in the world.
