A Computer System for Classification of Burns and Determination of Fluid and Nutritional Needs for Burn Patients

Background: The assessment and classification of burin severity and extent is very important for proper treatment. A computer system to assess burns seems to be crucial for the determination of fluid and nutritional requirements.    The aim of the work: The objectives of this work are to design a co...
