“…Most of the maternal mortality (40%) had TSAB above 30%. Kamini et al 9 also showed in their study that the maternal and fetal mortality rates were higher when the burn was suicidal. Higher degree of burn is directly proportionate to severity of outcome.All third degree burn (n=4) resulted in poor outcomes in our study.…”

Aims:The aim of this study is to study morbidity and mortality of burn cases during pregnancy and postpartum period.Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital from April 1998 to July 2014. The data were retrieved from the records in burn ward, intensive care unit and emergency unit. Pregnant women with burn were studied for the nature, degree and the percentage of burn in relation to pregnancy outcome and mortality.Results: There were 32 cases of burn patients with pregnancy. The most common source of burn was kerosene-induced flame (23) followed by domestic firewood (7), boiling water (1) and lightening (1).There were 25 cases of accidental burn and seven were suicidal burn. The age of the patients was ≤19 years in 7, 20-24 in 13, 25-29 in 6 and 30-34 in 6 patients. Except for two cases of postpartum burn , all the others occurred during pregnancy between 6-40 gestational week{<12weeks =5, 13-27 weeks =10, 28-36 weeks=4, 37-42 weeks =6 and unknown =7}. There was only one cesarean and three vaginal births and most resulting in stillbirth owing to higher percentage of burn above second degrees. The percentage of burn was <30% in 13, 30-39% in 3, 40-59 % in 6, 60-69% in 5 and 70-90% in 2 patients. There were nine mortality (28.1%) in women above 30% burn. Conclusions:The most common cause of burn in pregnancy was flame burn. Pregnant women need to be cautioned against flame burn and avoid using kerosene cooking stove to prevent themselves from burn, genuinely necessary steps to be propagated by all healthcare providers and also at the same time counseling against suicide to be done.

“…The main predictor of the survival of pregnant woman is the percentage of total body surface area affected (5). In most cases in which both the mother and the fetus died, the total body surface area was more than 40% (5,7,8,10,21).…”

“…Most unintentional burns occur in the home around the cooking area, with flames being the major cause (4). Women of reproductive age are often victims of burn injury in developing countries (5). Burns that occur during pregnancy are uncommon; however, these injuries are often fatal for both the pregnant mother and her fetus, especially in low-income countries (5)(6)(7)(8)(9).…”

“…Existing literature is mainly from high-income countries. There is dearth of literature on low-income countries where the burden of burn during pregnancy is higher (5)(6)(7)(8)(9). A case study is the 'study of a phenomenon' where one actor/person is involved (11).…”

Introduction: This paper describes a case of pregnant mother who died of burn injury in order to understand the societal factors related to the event. We reviewed the case in the rural community. Initially, the case was reported as a maternal death to maternal and neonatal death review (MNDR) system being conducted in Bangladesh within exiting health system to explore the medical and social causes of maternal and newborn deaths. However, during the verbal autopsy, it was found that the mother died of bun injury. Therefore, we performed detailed case study. Case Presentation: A woman aged 18 years was nine months pregnant in a rural community in Moheskhali upazila of Cox's Bazar district. During the wintertime, the mother feels cold and goes near to the oven in the yard to be warm. Suddenly, part of her clothing (Anchal of Sari) catches fire; she does not recognized and starts to walk towards her room. A neighbor notices and starts to shout. The woman scars and tries to run. The neighbors come with a bucket of water. By this time, the fire spreads over whole body and cloths. Immediately after the event, she is transferred to a medical college hospital. Conclusions: Doctors tried to do immediate cesarean section; however, they could not save the life of the baby inside. The mother who was severely burnt also died after 10 days. Rural community in Bangladesh still does not have adequate awareness and knowledge about risk of burn. The scarce knowledge of appropriate steps immediately after burn was explored. Moreover, delays in decision-making and transferring the patient to the facility were identified. Specific interventions need to be taken to increase knowledge and awareness in the community, which could save thousands of lives.
