The key is B. IV fluid stat. [Here already mentioned full thickness burn which is painless. Child often cry from anxiety for hypoxaemia and hypovolaemia rather than pain. The patient then responds better to oxygen or increased fluid administration rather than to narcotic analgesics. Ref: patient.info].
