“…El principal objetivo de la escarectomía precoz es detener la tremenda respuesta inflamatoria que desencadena y de ese modo prevenir la infección al cerrar temporal o definitivamente las zonas cruentas. De ese modo se restaura la función de barrera de la piel 42,49 . Ser un facilitador para que el paciente sea intervenido precozmente (dentro de 5 días luego de ocurrida la lesión, apenas se estabilice al paciente) es un aporte fundamental del anestesiólogo.…”

“…Burn injuries mostly occur due to heat transfer from hot liquids (scalding), cooking flames, and sometimes due to exposure to chemicals, electricity, and ionizing radiation [3]. Systematic reviews summarizing studies conducted in the South East Asian subcontinent have identified young age, female gender, poor socioeconomic status and low educational level as major risk factors for burn related injuries and death [4][5][6]. Some studies have also shown that adolescents and younger adults are at even higher risk of suffering from burn injuries in LMIC, compared to children [7].…”

Each year, approximately 265,000 deaths occur due to burns on a global scale. In Bangladesh, around 173,000 children under 18 sustain a burn injury. Since most epidemiological studies on burn injuries in low and middle-income countries are based on small-scale surveys or hospital records, this study aims to derive burn mortality and morbidity measures and risk factors at a population level in Bangladesh. A household survey was conducted in seven rural sub-districts of Bangladesh in 2013 to assess injury outcomes. Burn injuries were one of the external causes of injury. Epidemiological characteristics and risk factors were described using descriptive as well as univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. The overall mortality and morbidity rates were 2 deaths and 528 injuries per 100,000 populations. Females had a higher burn rate. More than 50% of injuries were seen in adults 25 to 64 years of age. Most injuries occurred in the kitchen while preparing food. 88% of all burns occurred due to flame. Children 1 to 4 years of age were four times more likely to sustain burn injuries as compared to infants. Age-targeted interventions, awareness of first aid protocols, and improvement of acute care management would be potential leads to curb death and disability due to burn injuries.

“…This includes fluid resuscitation, hemodynamic support, airway management as needed, and optimization of pulmonary function along with prophylaxis and treatment of infection. Early infections are often Gram positive, but later infections tend to be Gram negative, especially in patients with bloodstream infection (Wolf and Arnoldo 2013). However, it is incumbent upon physicians to recognize the potential obstacles to functional rehabilitation early and start aggressive measures to preserve and optimize function of large and small joints while providing soft tissue coverage to minimize risks of infection and tissue loss.…”

“…While hospital stays are longer in burn units than non-burn centers, the outcomes are better when patients are treated in a burn unit (Wolf and Arnoldo 2013).…”
