| Description | During the last decades of the burn trauma occurs to shift the nature of the mechanism of burns and also to changes within individual age groups burned. Like in western countries currently thankfully we are shrinking extensive burns in the pediatric population. But on the other hand, are more nad more lighter burns, expecially scalds.The average age of burns is also reduced. Also increasing scalds in children at an early toddlers. In the case report, however, we present a burn, which evades those factors. It was a very deep contact burns in a six-month old girl predominantly found on the front of the hull in the range of 9% of the body surface. Removal of devitalized tissue, including skin, subcutaneous fat in such a small child, it was necessary to do this guickly. With such a deep burns was not no use more environmentally friendly methods of chemical necrectomy. We had to remove the tissue sharply. Fortunately, the child managed the whole treatment without the need for mechanical ventilation or other serious complications. |
