Pediatric burns.

Abstract:

:Burns are the second most common cause of death in childhood. More than half of pediatric burns are partial-thickness scald burns; the majority occur in the kitchen. Generally, minor burns may be treated on an outpatient basis, while moderate burns are treated in a community hospital. Children with major burns should be transferred to a regional burn unit as soon as possible after stabilization, provision of fluids and, if necessary, intubation.
