Abstract
We present a case based discussion of a fire year old boy who attended the Accident and Emergency department with 18% surface area of burns following a household accident. It highlights the key elements of assessment in paediatric resuscitation and the principles of management of burns in children. We look at the criteria for referral to a tertiary centre and the safeguarding issues that can arise from cases of paediatric injury.
