OBJECTIVE: Despite medical and technological advances, burn is still a life-threatening serious problem. In this study, we wanted to evaluate the characteristics of 14 year-old and under-child patients who applied to Kartal Burn Center Policlinic during the winter months and who had contact burns.
METHOD: Kartal Burn Center between December 2018 and 2019 the months of February and contact the Polyclinic of pediatric patients under the age of 14 references burns, age, gender, area of burn, burn percentage, degree of burn were recorded.
RESULTS: Of the 89 patients, 52 (58.5%) were male and 37 (41.5%) were female. The mean age was 2.3 years. The mean TBSA was 1.5. 48% of the patients were in the 2nd degree superficial, 40 % in the 2nd degree in the deep and 4% in the 3rd degree burn, and 8% in the 1st degree burn. Burning agents 58 patients (65%) stove contact, 14 iron contacts (16%), 4 pan contact (4,5%), 3 toaster (3,5%), 3 touches (3,5%), 1 the electric heater (1%) was burned due to 1 furnace (1%).
CONCLUSION: Burning is an important problem in pediatric patients. When the average age is considered low, the parents are careless in this regard, uneducated or even neglected is emerging. Especially in the winter heaters are used a lot. However, as with all heating sources, contact burns are common. However, the fact that all the patients we follow are preventable cases decreases the work of the parents when considering the age group.We think that the majority of these cases can be prevented with education and awareness.
