• Abstract: SUMARY INTRODUCTION: Globally evaluate the aspects inherent to severely burned patients, and the initial approach to be taken to provide good care to the victim. Methodology: This is a literature review, of a narrative type, which objectively describes the approach to burn patients, from a theoretical point of view, through materials that have already been published on the topic in question, through analysis and interpretation of literature. The inclusion criteria were: articles in Portuguese and English; published between 2019 and 2024 and which addressed the themes proposed for this research, studies of this type made available in full. DISCUSSION: Patients who suffer any type of burn, regardless of its extent, become victims of physical aggression in their morphology and aesthetics, or that goes beyond physical damage. Burns are specific as injuries resulting from trauma of thermal origin resulting from exposure to flames, hot liquids, hot surfaces, cold, chemical substances, radiation, friction or friction. Throughout this work, it was conveyed that for there to be effective treatment, some factors must be individualized, such as early diagnosis characterized by the identification of the etiology, extent, severity and depth of injuries caused by burns. Final considerations: In view of the above, increasing the contribution to the medical community, the present study was limited to elucidating the approach to burn patients, from simple to complex and the types of burns and their specific treatments.
