“…A similar prevalence in children younger than 4 years (57.6%) was described by Viana et al ,18 when analyzing medical records of 410 children aged 0 to 14 years admitted to the emergency room for burns in Goiânia, GO, Brazil, in the period of 2005 to 2007. A recent publication by Fernandes et al , 2 which included 289 children and adolescents with burn injuries admitted to a referral hospital in João Pessoa, PB, Brazil, from January of 2007 to December of 2009, showed that approximately 70% of the patients were younger than 7 years, which was also observed by Nigro et al in Paraná 1. Factors that may explain the higher prevalence of accidents at this early stage of life are related to the characteristics of child development, as children are immature and curious regarding the environment, and are thus more exposed to dangerous situations, which is potentiated by inadequate monitoring 14…”

Objective:To describe the profile of pediatric burn victims hospitalized at Hospital-Escola Padre Albino (HEPA), in Catanduva, São Paulo, Brazil. Methods:This was a cross-sectional, retrospective study analyzing 446 medical records of patient aged 0-18 years old hospitalized in the Burn Care Unit of HEPA, from 2002 to 2012. The following variables were recorded: demographic data, skin burn causes, lesions characteristics, complications, surgical procedures, length of hospital stay, and outcome. Descriptive statistics were used. Results:382 patients with full medical records were included in the study. Burns were more frequent in males (64.4%) and in children aged less than 6 years (52.9%). Most accidents occurred at home (67.3%) and hot liquids were responsible for 47.1% of them. Mean burnt body surface was 18% and the most affected body areas were chest and limbs. First- and second-degree burns were observed in 64.4% of the cases. Secondary infection and surgical procedures occurred in 6.5% and 45.0% of the patients, respectively. Mean length of hospital stay was 9.8 days. The mortality rate was 1.6%. Conclusions:Preschool children were the main victims of burns occurring at home, representing the largest contingent of hospitalizations due to this cause in individuals aged < 18 years. It is important to develop strategies to alert parents and general society through educational programs and preventive campaigns.

“…Fernandes et al (19) and Pedro et al (20) suggest as possible explanation the greater disposition of the boys for risk games and, consequently, greater exposure to the causal agents of the burn. Added to it, Vendrusculo et al (21) explore the domestic environment, especially the kitchen, as a frequent place for accidents involving children and most injuries occur in this place, often due to the absence or inattention of the person responsible for the child.…”

Methods: Retrospective and descriptive study by means of gathering information in medical records of children victims of burns, convenience sample, consisted of patients in the 0-6 age group, that were interned in BTC of University Hospital/ UEL, from January 2011 to February 2014. Results: Data from 102 medical records were collected, physical therapy was realized in 94 (92.1%) cases, being respiratory physical therapy, placements, motor physical therapy, orthosis indication and orientation. In the first, second, last but one and last sessions, the most used breathing techniques were clearence maneuvers; the general placements was the most used; during motor physical therapy, the gait /walking and orientation were used with more frequency in last assistance. Conclusion:The initial physical therapy emphasizes the clearence maneuvers for prevention and treatment of respiratory complications that threaten the survival of the patient.

Data were collected following a structured script containing: author, database, year, type of study/approach, Journal, research place, gender, age, event location, etiologic agent, depth, the percentage of body surface burned and systemic changes caused by the burns. Of 49 studies identified, 16 met the inclusion criteria. Analyzing the sample for the event characteristics, it was observed a higher incidence of accidents in males. The main causes of burns were heated by liquid, followed by direct flame. Regarding the classification, the most frequent injury was the 2 nd
