Abstract
The Wilderness Medical Society released the first edition of the Wilderness Medical Society Clinical Practice Guideline on Care of Burns in the Wilderness in June 2025. This guideline offers evidence-based recommendations for the management of burn injuries in wilderness environments, including on-site burn assessment, field first aid, evaluation of burn depth and total body surface area, blister care, fluid resuscitation, wound dressing, pain control, post-injury evacuation, and telemedicine applications. This article interprets the guideline, aiming to inform clinical practitioners of recent advances in wilderness burn care and provide evidence-based references for clinical practice.
