BACKGROUND Deep vein thrombosis has increasingly been recognized as an important and possibly preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Deep vein thrombosis is not uncommon in burns patients. We wanted to study the incidence of deep vein thrombosis and the natural course of disease in burns patients.

BACKGROUND Electrical burns are uncommon. They result in high morbidity and mortality due to severe tissue damage. We wanted to analyse epidemiological variables of electrical injuries, identify preventable measures, study the various post electrical burn compound defects/wounds and the addressal of them, study the various flaps used for coverage of various post electrical burns defects and to analyse the outcome of flap cover of compound electrical burns defects. METHODS This is a prospective observational study of various flaps for compound defects in patients with electrical burns conducted in a tertiary care centre. A total of sixty-five flaps was performed for reconstruction of various defects in forty-eight patients of electrical burns in Burns Unit,
