A test for the determination of areas of thermal trauma both in lateral extension and in depth is recorded (Goulian's test). There is need for further reports on experiences with burns in children, especially in relation to mortality rates (related to age and percentage of involvement), ...
In children, hand burns are more frequent than burns in any other site, and they also disturb the normal routine of children's life, because of their localization. We refer here to hand burns that do not cover a large percentage of the body and therefore do not provoke the disorders ...

Patients who were burned while in a walker had a greater body surface area burned (11.6%) than those with burns from abuse (1.7%), neglect (2.5%), or other accidents (6.2%). A higher percentage of males were burned, and the burn patterns differed among all four groups. Seven of the...
View this table: Aetiology of burn injuries (percentage) ### Thermal injury Flame —Accelerants such as petrol, lighter fluid, or natural gas are often involved. The depth of flame burn is typically full or partial thickness. Scald —60% of burns in children are from scalds. Non-accidental...
In deep partial-thickness burns, pain may be absent due to damage to sensory nerve endings.Reassess burn depth periodically, as it can increase after initiating resuscitation.Extent of burn [3]The percentage of total body surface area (TBSA) injured is used to quantify the extent of burn ...
