5. Discussion
Extensive burns in Kosovo in the initial phase are treated with close cooperation between the anesthesiologist and plastic surgeon, where patients with extensive burns are placed in the intensive care unit, as a burn center has not been established yet in Kosovo. After initial resuscitation and after these patients survived the danger of early complications from extensive burns, they were transferred to our department for further treatment. Emergency resuscitation in Kosovo is not performed properly in many cases, which occasionally leads to early major complications. Delayed transportation and admission to our intensive care unit is responsible for most of the deaths in cases of extensive burns. Until now, research on pediatric burns in Kosovo had not been carried out.
