In a twenty-five year period(1958-1983),there were altogether 4651burn cases admitted to this institute,of whom 1255 were children(26.95%).Themortality rate of this series of young victims was 4.7%(59 cases).The causes ofdeath were septicemia(30 cases),shock(17),cerebral edema and cerebral hernia(4),acute renal failure(4),severe burn wound sepsis(2),and pulmonarycomplications resulting from severe inhalation burns(2).Since the mortality and the incidence of shock and septicemia were closelyrelated to the extensiveness of the burn injuries,a new classification of burninjuries in children is suggested as follows:1.Mild burns:The affected area is less than 10% TBSA.2.Moderate burns:10-29% TBSA is injured.3.Severe burns:30-49% TBSA is injured.4.Extremely severe burns:More than 50% TBSA is injured.
Themortality rate of this series of young victims was 4.7% (59 cases). In a twenty-five year period (1958-1983), there were altogether 4651burn cases admitted to this institute, of whom 1255 were children (26.95%). causes of septicemia (30 cases), shock (17), cerebral edema and cerebral hernia (4), acute renal failure (4), severe burn wound sepsis (2), and pulmonary complications resulting from severe inhalation burns the mortality and the incidence of shock and septicemia were closelyrelated to the extensiveness of the burn injuries, a new classification of burninjuries in children is suggested as follows: 1. Wild burns: The affected area is less than 10% TBSA.2. Moderate burns : 10-29% TBSA is injured.3.Severe burns: 30-49% TBSA is injured.4.Extremely severe burns: More than 50% TBSA is injured.
