Abstract:
Our aim was to obtain a statistical profile of survivors and deaths among burn victims and to develop predictive models for mortality and length of hospital stay. All patients admitted to the Burns Unit of Alexandria Main University Hospital over a 1-year period were included. Of 533 cases, mean length of hospital stay was 15.5 +/- 21.6 days and the mortality rate was 33%. Total surface area burnt, inhalation burns, age, sex, depth and degree of burn wounds were the significant independent predictors of mortality in multiple logistic regression analysis. The significant independent predictors of the length of hospital stay were clothing ignition, total surface area burnt, sex, degree and depth of burn and inhalation burns.

Abstract:
Background: Unusual burns are not uncommon. They occur in the industrial as well as the domestic side. These are mainly burns due to chemicals, tar, fire walk and lightning burns. These burns occur as a result of improper handling of chemicals with poor safety measures or due to accidents. Here, we discuss about these burns, their epidemiology with treatment and preventive measures.Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care burn centre for a period of two years from Jan 2009 to Jan 2011. Forty-four patients with unusual burns were admitted and evaluated with a thorough history and clinical examination. Initial resuscitation was done followed by specific therapy in each of the cases.Results: The forty-four patients with unusual burns were categorized into chemical burns, lightning burns, tar burn, camphor burns, fire walk burns and miscellaneous types. These burns mostly involved adult males and were generally due to domestic reasons. 93% were due to accidents of which most of them were of the miscellaneous type (83%).Conclusions: Unusual burns are an important to know as these are occurring with regular frequency in the present days. These burns are usually accidental occurring in industries and in household setups. Proper education and safety measures could reduce the incidence of these unusual burns.

Abstract:
All burn cases admitted to the burns unit of Alexandria Main University Hospital over a period of one year were investigated. Burns were found to occur in younger age groups. There was an almost equal distribution of cases by sex, but when stratified by age, more females were found in most age groups. Most burns were domestic, with cooking being the most prevalent activity. Flame was the most common agent. Death occurred in about one-third of cases;when using logistic regression analysis, the outcome of the burn injury was significantly associated with age, sex, total surface area burnt and degree and depth of the burn

Abstract:
Liaison psychiatry is in a developmental stage in the UK and the opportunity to be trained in this special area at Senior Registrar level is rare. The Wessex Rotation for Senior Registrars is therefore privileged to be able to offer an attachment to Odstock Hospital, Salisbury, where the Spinal and Plastic Regional Units are based. The local psychiatric service offers consultations to both Units, the senior registrar having opted for one session a week with the Burns Unit. He is supervised by the consultant psychiatrist who spends two weekly sessions in liaison with the special Unit.

Abstract:
To determine the rate of self-burning among all burns patients admitted to the Burns and Plastic Surgery Centre at Sulaimani University in Iraqi Kurdistan and to identify the risk factors and motives, all burns patients, aged 8 years and over, admitted between 1 September 2009 and 30 April 2010 were surveyed. Of the 200 patients interviewed, 54 (27%) reported self-burns and 146 (73%) reported accidental burns. The risk factors for self-burning included mental illness, female gender and younger age. Almost two-thirds of those who reported self-burns (32, 60.4%) had intended to kill themselves. The most commonly cited reasons for the act were family problems (24, 44%) and marital problems (13, 24%). Burns in the self-burning group were more severe and were associated with a higher mortality rate (34, 63%) than in the accidental burns group (29, 20%).

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Skin is an essential organ of our body & performs many vital functions. It consists of epidermis & Dermis. Epidermal and burns to superficial part of dermis heal very well with no or minimal scarring. Burns to deep dermis usually heal with hypertrophy and contractures. When skin is burnt, all vital functions of skin are lost. Burns of the face usually heal well due to presence of high proportion of papillary dermis. They should be protected from sunlight. It is known that reticular layer of dermis comes to the defense and protects against formation of contractures. It is also proved that thin layer over eyelids, face and neck is responsible for development of contractures. Thick layer of skin over buttocks & back protects against developing contractures. We should remember that once a scar, it is always a scar. It may not be possible to remove the scars completely, but we can minimize the burn scar. Management of burns includes, management at the site of injury, management in emergency room, management in ICU (intensive care unit), HDU (High dependency unit) and also wards. Meticulous dressings to be done as and when required. When all the wounds have healed advice for massage with oil or moisturizer, active physiotherapy, provision of cervical collar, splints and pressure garments. We should check for compliance of the treatment at regular intervals. Counselling of the patients requires utmost attention. Psychological support and rehabilitation is very essential as many patients may go for psychiatric illnesses. Secondary surgery for correction of deformities after 6 months or as per indication is mandatory. How to cite this article Dhanraj P. Management of Burns. J Med Sci 2017;3(4):102-110.

Abstract:
Objective: It is widely accepted that the early debridement of burns improves outcome. There is increasing evidence that enzymatic debridement is an effective technique for removal of full-thickness and deep-dermal burns, reducing blood loss and often the need for autologous skin grafting by avoiding over excision of the burn. We aim to highlight the potential use of this form of debridement as an alternative to surgical management in patients with electronic cigarette (e-cigarette)-associated flame burn injuries. Methods: This case series presents the use of Nexobrid (MediWound Ltd, Israel), a non-surgical, bromelain-based enzymatic debridement technique, in patients with deep partial-thickness burns (range: 1–3% total body surface area), avoiding the need for autologous skin grafting. Results: Burn wounds in two patients healed within 14 days without complications or the need for further surgical intervention. Another patient required further dressings after discharge but failed to attend follow-up appointments. These results are comparable with those reported by others using conservative management of e-cigarette burns. Conclusion: The authors wish to raise awareness of the potential for a combination of thermal and chemical burns related to e-cigarette explosions. Chemical burns should be excluded by pH testing of the burn wound. From our experience, small e-cigarette-associated flame burns can be considered for management with enzymatic debridement.

Abstract:
The issue of the relationship between physical illness and psychological disorder has a long and chequered history. It is therefore difficult to derive practice implications. However, there are associations between methods of patient care and long-term psychological and physical functioning which have provided some guiding principles (Nichols, 1984). This paper describes how these principles have been applied in a regional burns unit.

Abstract:
Background: While the consumer sale of fireworks is illegal in New South Wales, the sale of sparklers is legal—however, both still pose a significant risk of harm in the paediatric population. Anecdotally, burns services are aware that the misuse of sparklers can result in burns but there appears to be a paucity of studies examining this incidence in the paediatric population in Australia.Method: A retrospective review of all burns related to the use of fireworks or sparklers referred to the Children’s Hospital at Westmead (CHW) Burns Unit (BU) from January 2004 to December 2019. Results: 96 patients were referred to the CHW BU with a burn as a result of a firework or sparkler. Sparklers accounted for 69 (72%) of burns, compared with 27 (28%) from fireworks. The mean age of those injured by sparklers was five years compared with eight years in the firework group. Average total body surface area (TBSA) affected for both mechanisms was similar—for sparkler burns (2.0%) firework burns (2.4%), with a range of 0.1–15 per cent. Hands were the most common area burnt in both groups comprising 41 (59%) of sparkler burns and 13 (48%) of firework burns. Twenty patients required a total of 32 visits to the operating theatre for acute management of their burns.Conclusion: This study demonstrates the potential for significant injuries as a result of fireworks and sparklers. These findings can be used to raise awareness regarding their dangers, direct targeted educational campaigns and guide safety advice regarding their use.

Abstract:
Background: Burn injuries are a huge public health challenge and a preventable cause of formidable morbidity, mortality, disfigurement, and disabilities. The incidence of burn injuries remains high all over India and more so in the given region. This is an epidemiological study from 100 consecutive adult burn cases admitted in Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital Burns Unit. The aim was to study the various epidemiological factors like age group, sex, socioeconomic status, causative factors, comorbid conditions, the severity of burns, psychological aspects and treatment modalities which impact the outcome.Methods: 100 cases admitted in the burn unit of Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital were studied from October 2017 to October 2018. Data on age, sex, aetiology, percentage of body surface area (TBSA), comorbid conditions, socioeconomic factors, treatment modalities, psychological factors, bacteriological studies and treatment outcomes were studied during the period. Inclusion criteria was all burn patients more than 14 years of age.Results: A total of 100 cases of burns were studied (male 32 and female 68). The average percentage of TBSA was 45% and the most common etiological factor was flame burns. Comorbid conditions like diabetes and COPD significantly affected the outcome. Psychological factors played an important role in the causation and outcomes. Treatment modalities were tailored according to the severity of burns. Mortality was higher for burns more than 40% TBSA.Conclusions: This study represents the epidemiological pattern of burns in Tirunelveli district and can be used to devise improvements in treatment protocols, strategies in burns prevention and to plan a modern hi-tech burns unit.

Abstract:
Background: Electric burns are associated with a high degree of morbidity and mortality. The association of multiple injuries in burn patients further complicates the management problem. The injuries require prompt diagnosis and redressal for better outcomes.Methods: We decided to undertake a study to note characteristics of associated injuries in patients with electrical burns. A retrospective review was done of all patients admitted in Burn Unit of SMS Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur over a period of 2 years, who had sustained electric burns and had sustained associated injuries.Results: A total of 770 patients were admitted with electric burns over this duration. Associated injuries were noted in 4.15% of these patients. Young, male patients were more commonly affected, with a male to female ratio of 4:1.Conclusions: The incidence of associated injuries in electrical burns is not insignificant. A low threshold for suspicion is required in managing doctors to diagnose such injuries for optimal treatment and improved outcome in patients with electrical burns.

Abstract:
Objective: To assess equity in the distribution of hospital beds in northern Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the degree of equity by using 2016 census data from 16 cities in Guilan province. The hospital beds include burns, intensive care unit, coronary care unit and neonatal intensive care unit beds. We analysed the general status and explored its distribution equity by using the Theil index. Findings: We found that Rezvanshahr and Masal had no hospital beds. The utilisation gap was positive only in Rasht, as capital of the province. Neonatal intensive care unit beds were only found in Rasht and Lahijan. Rasht was shown to have a positive gap in using burns, intensive care unit and coronary care unit beds, with a negative gap of 14.68 in coronary care unit beds. The other 15 cities did not have such hospital beds. For intensive care unit, coronary care unit and neonatal intensive care unit beds, nearly 8%, 2% and 14% of cities were deprived of being equipped with these hospital beds, respectively. The highest positive gap and the lowest negative gap were attributed to coronary care unit beds. In the province, there were 0.057 burns beds, 0.137 intensive care unit beds, 0.381 coronary care unit beds and 0.72 neonatal intensive care unit beds per 10,000 population (neonatal intensive care unit beds, per 1000 neonates). In 11 out of 16 cities, the number of coronary care unit beds per 10,000 population was higher than the provincial average. The highest inequality in distribution was shown to be for burns beds (0.8), neonatal intensive care unit beds (0.75), intensive care unit beds (0.55) and coronary care unit beds (0.21), respectively. Conclusion: This study revealed high inequalities in the distribution of hospital beds in northern Iran. The local and national policy-makers should design and implement a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system for tracking and allocating healthcare resources, both qualitatively and quantitatively, which appears to be very necessary to increase the equity in access to healthcare services.

Abstract:
Background: Burn injury is a serious pathology, potentially leading to severe morbidity and significant mortality, but it also has a considerable health-economic impact. Burn injuries rank among the most severe types of injuries suffered by the human body with an attendant high mortality and morbidity rate. The objective of this study was to identify the demographic and socio-cultural aspects of burn patients attending a tertiary care centre.Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in the burns unit of a tertiary care centre. All burns cases admitted to the burns unit for the period of one year were included.Results: Out of the 150 burns patient’s majority were females belonging to the age group 21 to 30 years. 80% of the burn injuries occurred at home. Cooking was the main factor for burns in domestic set up. Flames represented the common agent of burn injuries.Conclusions: The current study gives important information about sociocultural factors involved in burn injuries which in turn will help in identifying the high-risk population for preventing future burn injuries.

Abstract:
Electrical burns account for a small percentage of all burn injuries. However, in burn patients, they are a major source of disability. They put socioeconomic burden on the society. This is a retrospective epidemiological study of 282 electrical burn patients admitted in burn unit of a tertiary care hospital of North India. Majority of the electrical burn was due to accidental touching of uncovered wires and occupation-related burns in laborers and industrial workers who were mainly young males in the age group 20 to 40 years. Most of the cases were of high-voltage (≥1000 V) electrical burns. More severe burns, longer hospital stays, and more problems and operations were all linked to high-voltage burns. Amputation rates for high-voltage burns were significantly higher (37.3%) as compared to low-voltage burns (13.6%). Electrical burn injuries can be prevented by awareness programs, proper training, and safety measures both by public and government.

Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to establish the demographic factors associated with increasing incidences of burns among adult patients admitted in the Kenyatta National Hospital Burns UnitMethodology: The population of this research consisted of all patients in the burns unit at Kenyatta hospital. The study used primary data in particular used questionnaires. The questionnaire consisted of structured closed ended statements. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) mainly by use of descriptive statistics. Descriptive statistics included mode, mean, median, standard deviation. Data was presented by use of graphs, pie charts and tables.Results: The study findings indicated that there has been an increase in number of patients with burns which is associated with various demographics factors causing the increased incidences among the patients. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: From the study findings the researcher recommend that it’s important to educate the citizens in order to make them more aware of the dangers associated with various factors such as illegal electricity connection and lack of access roads. In doing this more cases of fire would be reduced and reduce loss of lives and property in more fire prone areas. The study also recommends that the Government through the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation should impart knowledge related to the burns especially on how people can take preventive measures and emergency measures against fire outbreak.
