“…Se encontró que el sitio anatómico más frecuentemente comprometido son los miembros superiores y la cara, lo que podría reflejar una relación directa entre manipulación inadecuada y la ocurrencia de estos eventos 3,6,[8][9][10][11] . Los agentes más comúnmente implicados son los ácidos seguido del hidróxido de sodio lo cual también se podría relacionar con el mayor uso del primero en el contexto industrial y del segundo en el doméstico 3,6-13 .…”

“…Although all parts of the body are exposed to burn injury, the hands are the most frequently affected parts of the body in burn traumas (Robinson & Chhabra, 2015). According to the latest studies, the hands are affected in 80% of burn injuries due to their anatomical position in the body (Allam, Mostafa, Zayed, & El‐Gamaly, 2007; Mohaddes Ardebili, Manzari, & Bozorgnejad, 2014).…”

Although the hands represent only 5% of total body surface area, they are the primary means by which we engage with the environmental context; therefore, hand burns may have severe functional and psychosocial implications in an individual life (Brychta, 2012; Mohaddes Ardebili et al, 2014; Robinson & Chhabra, 2015; Soni, Pham, & Ko, 2017).…”

Aim To develop an evidence‐based guideline to care for hand‐burned patients. Design An integrative review. Method The search was conducted of EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS, Clinical Key, Iranmedex, Magiran, Scientific Information Database (SID), Cochran, CINAHL and Google Scholar databases from January 2000–August 2019. Following the formation of the research team, two researchers independently selected the eligible studies. The initial search resulted in 2,230 records; ultimately, 40 articles were identified to be the review after screening the records based on the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria. Quality of selected studies was evaluated with the MMAT method. Results Data syntheses of selected studies, coded by highlighting the relevant parts of the text, and assigning code words to these areas were done. Following this, a constant comparison was used to develop categories by combining codes. Finally, hand burns nursing care guideline was developed by categorizing descriptive themes in two main phases. Conclusion This review results have shown that evidence‐based guidelines present high‐quality recommendations for the healthcare team, which improves the quality of clinical care. Due to a lack of established guidelines in our context, it seems to be helpful to use evidence‐based guidelines in managing burned hands.

Introduction: Chemical burns are comparably rare but often result in full-thickness skin defects with frequent involvement of underlying structures. Hands are the most commonly affected injury site and impaired functional outcome is common. We present a case of an unusual chemical burn to the dorsum of the hand of a child secondary to application of a topical anti-wart treatment containing formic acid. Case report: An 11-year-old girl was referred to our outpatient department with a full-thickness injury resulting from a chemical burn having used a topical formic acid solution in the treatment of common warts. On examination, a 20-mm circular full-thickness defect was noted to the dorsum of the hand. The extensor tendons were not involved and there were no signs of infection. She required surgical debridement and local flap coverage. The postoperative recovery was unremarkable. Conclusion: Through a comprehensive literature review, four common topical solutions used in anti-wart treatment were identified to be associated with burns. Together with our case, this highlights the importance of careful patient education in the usage of common topical over-the-counter treatments.
