Researchers from Australia are in Sacramento to share some of their knowledge and best practices fo first aid for burns.

They've found that using running water for 20 minutes, after a burn injury can help drastically reduce the severity of burns and the need for skin grafts.

Three children are accidentally run over in Australia every week - most in their driveway at home. Always look 👀 before reversing your car🚗- if you don't know, don't go! @auskidsafe @KidsafeQLD @QldAmbulance @QPSmedia

Tuning in to paediatric burn pain. Understanding these characteristics could flag escalated analgesia, improving healing time and other sequalae. Risk factors associated with higher pain levels among pediatric burn patients: a retrospective cohort study https://t.co/2UQzP7hxuO

Childhood exhaust burns are more likely to require skin grafting and more operating room visits. Also more likely to be sustained in rural areas - this creates all sorts of burdens! Prevention is the best cure here!

This is the reason National Burn Awareness Day is so important in raising awareness of how easily a child can be severely burned. Please Keep Hot Drinks Out Of Reach. A Burn Injury is for Life. #BeBurnsAware
