Nghiên cứu một số đặc điểm bỏng điện ở trẻ em điều trị tại Bệnh viện Bỏng Quốc gia từ tháng 1 năm 2017 đến tháng 12 năm 2019

Abstract

Aims: This study aims to comment on some epidemiological, clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in electric burn patients aged up to sixteen years who were hospitalized at the Le Huu Trac National Burn Hospital from 2017 to 2019.
Materials and methods: Retrospective, statistical and descriptive research based on medical records of burn patients from January of 2017 to December of 2019 at Le Huu Trac National Burn Hospital.

Results: 167 under-16-year-old electrical burn patients were hospitalized in Le Huu Trac National Burn Hospital from 2017 to 2019.
The main cause was low-voltage burns 89.8%; common in rural areas (86.2%) and male pediatric patients (76.6%). The age group that often encounters high-voltage electrical burns is over 10 years old (85%), while children under-6-year-old often suffer from low-voltage burns (65.35%). Compared with the group of patients with low voltage burns, it was found that the group of patients with high voltage burns had a higher rate of burn shock than p = 0.000000, larger burn area, larger depth of burn area, more surgeries, longer hospital stay (p = 0.00000).
The rate of amputation and dissection of pediatric patients with electrical burns was 15.56% and no patient died during treatment.
Conclusion: Electrical burns in children are a common emergency, the treatment results at the National Burn Hospital give good results with 100% being cured and discharged from the hospital.
