Barriers and facilitators to implementing enteral resuscitation for major burn injuries: Reflections from Nepalese care providers.
Article in Burns : journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionBurn injuries present a significant challenge globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where access to standard intravenous (IV) fluid resuscitation is often limited. In such austere settings, the feasibility of enteral resuscitation via oral rehydration solution (ORS) as an alternative to burn resuscitation is a critical consideration. We aimed to investigate the barriers and facilitators perceived by burn care providers in Nepal trained to use an enteral resuscitation protocol.
methodsWe conducted seven focus group discussions (FGD) with burn care providers (n = 45) involved in the resuscitation of burn-injured patients. These discussions centered on their experiences using enteral resuscitation in burn patients. We employed a semi-structured interview guide using Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), used deductive thematic analysis of the transcripts, and organized them based on CFIR constructs.
resultsIntensive involvement of stakeholders in the protocol development facilitated acceptance of enteral resuscitation. Stakeholders were motivated by a perceived desire to change practice to improve outcomes. Familiarity with ORS, operational advantages of ORS, and the perceived benefits of enteral resuscitation when struggling to obtain IV access in dehydrated patients furthered acceptance among participants. Recurring formal and informal training sessions aided uptake and fidelity to the protocol. However, challenges emerged in precise volume administration, miscalculations, technical errors, and structural resource limitations (e.g., limited staff time to monitor patients) related to the goal-directed resuscitation strategy.
conclusionThis study highlights the importance of stakeholder engagement, iterative refinement, and contextual adaptation in implementing an enteral resuscitation protocol for acute burn injuries. Findings offer insights into real-world applications and future clinical and research endeavors, informing the potential scalability and sustainability of enteral resuscitation protocols more broadly, to improve the care of patients with major burns in LMICs.
