Abstract

Civilian mass-casualty disasters and armed conflict share many features, including the fact that both maximally challenge multidisciplinary burn teams. Rigorous training is required to build teams and systems that can respond effectively. One of the critical but potentially overlooked components of readiness for crisis care is a robust clinical research program. Rather than stalling progress, disasters and conflict over the last 100 years consistently energized advances in care. This was made possible by the hard work of our predecessors to learn from the crisis in the midst of the crisis, and resulted in significant reductions in postburn mortality. Now, further work is needed not only to maintain these improvements in mortality, but also to understand the long-term functional outcomes and to improve the quality of life of burn survivors. Clinical research programs to address these issues must be established now, so that we are optimally prepared for the next conflict or disaster.

战争与灾难特刊导言:推进危机时期的护理工作。
平民大规模伤亡灾难和武装冲突有许多共同之处,其中包括两者都对多学科烧伤团队提出了最大挑战。要建立能够有效应对的团队和系统,就必须进行严格的培训。危机救护准备工作的一个关键但可能被忽视的组成部分是强大的临床研究计划。在过去的 100 年中,灾难和冲突不但没有阻碍医疗事业的发展,反而不断推动医疗事业的进步。这得益于我们的前辈们在危机中学习危机的艰苦努力,并显著降低了烧伤后的死亡率。现在,我们需要进一步努力,不仅要保持死亡率方面的这些改善,还要了解烧伤幸存者的长期功能结果,并提高他们的生活质量。现在就必须制定临床研究计划来解决这些问题,以便为下一次冲突或灾难做好最佳准备。
