Hello, my name is Svenja Hartmann. I'm a burn nurse.
Who is on the burn and trauma team?
A burn and trauma team brings many specialists together for people with serious burns or injuries. Surgeons trained in burns or trauma lead the medical plan, and nurses give care around the clock.
Physical and occupational therapists help with movement, stretching and daily tasks. Dietitians plan the extra nutrition that healing needs, and respiratory therapists may help with breathing. Social workers or case managers support families and help plan for going home.
Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your care. This is general information, not personal instructions. Your care team can tell you who is part of your own care.
Thanks for watching.
