“…Unlike the injuries caused by other types of causes like the flame or scald burns, electrical causes tend to have lesser TBSA and as we can see in our findings as well as those in Southwest China. 17 In this Chinese report, first, 95.5% of electrical injury resulted in full thickness burns which also corresponds to our findings of 86.1%. 17 Second, they reported that majority of their patients who sustained full thickness electrical injury were in less than or equal to 5% TBSA group, that is, 76.01%.…”

“…In a five-year epidemiological and outcome analytical retrospective study performed in a major burn center in Southwest China of 6325 burn patients in 2017 it was reported to have male-female ratio of 1.3:1, 2.8:1 in flame and scald injuries, but very high ratios of 8.6:1 in electrical injuries. 17 It also reported that significant percentage of patients were between 0 to 6 years of age in scald and flame…”

Introduction:The deceptive nature of electrical injury is likened to an iceberg phenomenon. Whether the tissue is conductive or resistant both are injured due to electroporation and heat, respectively. The objective of the study is to evaluate the types and pattern of injuries and attempt to predict the chances of various types of injuries and highlight the iceberg phenomenon. Methods:A retrospective study includes 36 patients. Injuries were classified into superficial and deep. Total burned surface area (TBSA) was categorized into four, 20%. The depth of injury was categorized into superficial and deep. Deep injuries were elaborated into loss of skin, muscle, tendon, nerve, artery, cartilage and damage of bone and internal organs. Treatment was grouped into conservative and surgical, where surgical was classified into minor, major and amputation procedures.Results: Injuries were mostly located over the upper extremities (47.76%). The first TBSA category had the highest number of patients (64%), highest percent of superficial and deep injuries (63.88% and 61.29%, respectively) and highest percentage of procedures (64.25%). The average number of procedures per patient was 3.8. The median burned surface area (BSA) was 4% and most of the procedures were performed in patients with less than 4% BSA. Conclusion:Electrical injuries are truly iceberg phenomenon where a small area of TBSA hides the greatest percentage of the deep structure injuries and brings about surprising reconstructive challenges.

BACKGROUNDThe estimated annual burn incidence in India is approximately 6-7 million per year. Burn injury is a common but preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in India. In patients of epilepsy, the burn injury is far more severe than the any other comorbidities. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis study design was a retrospective-descriptive study which was conducted in burn unit of MY Hospital, Indore with intention of identifying the risk factors for burn injury in epileptic patients. Study was conducted over a period of six years from the

Background and AimsBurn and scald injuries are the fourth most common type of trauma. Pediatric burns account for a high proportion of the total number of burn patients and impose a high burden on public health. Understanding the epidemiology of pediatric burns can help improve science education and reduce the incidence of burn injuries.MethodsThis study is a single‐center retrospective study. One thousand five hundred and twenty‐seven pediatric burn patients admitted to our burn center from January 2016 to December 2020 were included. Demographic and epidemiological data of included patients were extracted and analyzed. The correlations of categorical data were tested by the Chi‐square tests, and differences of continuous data were tested by the Kruskal–Wallis tests. A p‐value of less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.ResultsThe results showed that children under 3 years of age were most susceptible to burn and scald injuries. Burn injuries were most likely to occur in the season of winter and at the place of home. 56.6% of included patients did receive first aid measures, while 1.8% received gold‐standard first aid. Clinical variables related to the severity of injuries were statistically different between patients with and without cooling measures in first aid. Linear regression models showed that emergency treatment of burns in children and adolescents was associated with outcome indicators, including number of operations, total operation duration per total burn surface area (TBSA), cost per TBSA, and length of stay per TBSA.ConclusionsThis study summarized the epidemiology and outcomes of pediatric burn patients admitted to a burn center in northern China. Adopting cooling measures in first aid can reduce the severity of injuries and reduce the burden on the medical system. Education on burn prevention and first aid measures to caregivers of children, especially preschool children, should be strengthened.
