Which facilities are designated Burn Care Centers in the protocol?

• A. Johns Hopkins Hospital
• B. Sunrise Hospital and UMC Trauma Center
• C. Cleveland Clinic
• D. No burn center

Answer: (B)

Designated burn centers are the hospitals identified by the protocol to provide specialized care for burn injuries, ensuring patients get the right resources and services quickly. In this protocol, Sunrise Hospital and UMC Trauma Center are named as the burn centers. That means EMS should route eligible burn patients to these facilities for definitive burn care, because they have the designated capabilities and staff to manage burns. The other options aren’t listed as SNHD-designated burn centers under this protocol, and saying there is no burn center would be incorrect since the protocol specifies which facilities are designated for burn care.
