Phosphorus burns are severe injuries primarily seen in warfare. Prompt irrigation, mechanical decontamination, and surgical debridement are crucial for managing these deep, spreading wounds and preventing systemic toxicity.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Toxicology
  • Wound Care

Context:

  • The 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict led to surgical missions treating war-injured soldiers.
  • Exposure to phosphorus munitions resulted in unique and severe burn injuries.

Purpose:

  • To review the pathophysiology, treatment, and complications of phosphorus burns.
  • To provide updated information for healthcare providers managing these injuries.

Summary:

  • Phosphorus burns are deep, spreading, and can cause systemic toxicity, including hypocalcemia and cardiac issues.
  • Management involves extensive washing, mechanical decontamination, avoiding oily dressings, surgical debridement, and plastic surgery for wound coverage.

Impact:
