Vehicle radiator burns are a significant injury risk, with 80 patients treated over 13 years. Ten severe cases required surgical intervention, highlighting the need for burn prevention strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma surgery
  • Burn management
  • Public health

Background:

  • Vehicle radiators pose an underrecognized thermal hazard.
  • Burns from vehicle radiators can lead to severe injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the incidence and severity of radiator burn injuries.
  • To emphasize the importance of preventive measures against these specific burns.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patient admissions over 13 years.
  • Analysis of burn depth and required treatment modalities.

Main Results:

  • 80 patients admitted with radiator burn injuries over 13 years.
  • 10 patients (12.5%) sustained deep burns requiring surgical treatment.
