Clinical profile, management, and outcome of electric burn injuries at a tertiary care hospital.
Objective: To determine the clinical profile, management and outcomes of electric burn injury cases in a tertiary care setting.
Methods: The prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Jinnah Burns and Reconstructive Surgery Centre, Lahore, Pakistan, from August 2021 to July 2022, and comprised patients admitted with electric burns. Data collected included demographic variables, total burn surface area, associated injuries, entry and exit points, areas/regions involved, number of blood transfusions, number and type of amputations, total stay in hospital, surgical procedures, and clinical outcomes. The patients were followed up for six months after discharge from hospital. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
Results: Of the 883 patients, 91(10.3%) had electric burns; 70(76.9%) males and 21(23.1%) females. There were 44(48.3%) patients aged 21-40 years and 37(40.6%) were aged >40 years. Total body surface area was >20% in 62(68.2%) patients. Amputation was required in 25(27.5%) cases. The duration of hospital stay was up to 15 days in 50(54.9%) cases. The survival rate was high 88(96.7%).
Conclusions: Severe injuries, like high-voltage electrical burns, need interdisciplinary treatment available only in tertiary care settings.
期刊介绍:
Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
