I wrote to N.A.S.E.M.S.O. recently suggesting the burn first aid component of their latest guidelines (below) should be reviewed and changed to incorporate a 20 minute water cooling model with basic dressing such as use of clingfilm wrap. There is a preponderance of dry dressing approaches among more than 20 different model used in US EMS (N.A.S.E.M.S.O.'s only recommends dry dressing).
So the question for comrades here is, show me your backing studies because of the 20 or more practiced none can be supported by the level of evidence I can produce for a 20 minute model - (and yes I am aware there are many temperature variations in different parts of the US). Any up for the challenge?
