The main aim of our study was to find out the role of an ICU nurse in DA or in the DAS algorithm to minimize the permanent damage to the patient. The sample of our research consisted of 10 intentionally selected participants, working at the Clinic of Burn Medicine of the Královské Vinohrady University Hospital in the ICU and at the Clinic of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation of the 3rd Faculty of Medicine of the Charles University and the Královské Vinohrady University Hospital.
