True or False? A combat casualty with 25% TSA burns would be evacuation category A?

The statement that a combat casualty with 25% TSA (Total Body Surface Area) burns would fall under evacuation category A is true. In tactical combat casualty care, evacuation categories are used to prioritize the transport of injured personnel based on the severity of their injuries. Category A generally includes patients who require immediate evacuation due to life-threatening conditions or severe injuries that are unlikely to stabilize during prolonged evacuation.

Burn injuries, particularly those covering a significant portion of the body, such as 25% of total body surface area, can severely compromise a patient's physiology. The risk of complications, including shock, infection, and airway management issues, escalates with the extent of burns. Given the significant percentage of burns mentioned and the associated risks, it would necessitate immediate evacuation to ensure prompt and appropriate medical care, thus categorizing the casualty in evacuation category A.

The other factors mentioned in other responses, such as region or additional context, do not change the fundamental need for immediate treatment in the face of severe injuries like extensive burns.
