The severely burned patients increased the workload of the burn service but did not affect admissions of subsequent non-Pentagon patients after the second day. In case of a much larger number of critically injured patients, regional to national cooperation and transfer of patients should be considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
