Literature analysis with four years of experience in the burn unit
Abstract
Aim: Burn is a particular form of trauma that can occur with physical and/or chemical factors, affect all systems of organism, and be seen in all ages and genders. In our study, a retrospective analysis was made on the data of children treated in our burn unit over 4 years.
Materials and Methods: The data of 266 patients hospitalized in the Pediatric Surgery Clinic's burn unit between January 2017 and December 2020 were obtained retrospectively from the hospital information management system.
Results: In four years, the number of patients who were evaluated was 266. Ninety-seven of these patients are girls, and 169 of them are boys. The average age of all patients is 2.86 years. (Average: 2.92 for girls, 2.81 for boys).
Conclusion: Patient treatments are customized according to the depth and width of the burn. With an approach specific to each child, individualized treatment plans, which consider the quality of life of the child and parents, will increase the effectiveness of the treatment. Individualized treatment plans, with specific approaches towards each child in consideration of the quality of life of the child and/or their parents, would increase the effectiveness of the treatments.
