    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Pregnancy does not increase susceptibility to thermal injuries.
    • Most burns during pregnancy are minor and resolve quickly with outpatient care.
    • Severe burns in pregnant individuals are infrequent but pose significant risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the management of severe burns in pregnant patients.
    • To discuss maternal and fetal outcomes and complications.
    • To provide guidance on critical care and delivery decisions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature and clinical guidelines for burn management in pregnancy.
    • Emphasis on multidisciplinary care involving burn specialists, obstetricians, and neonatologists.

  • Recommendations for maternal transport, wound care, and fetal monitoring.

    • Main Results:

    • Maternal and fetal survival are directly correlated with the extent of maternal body surface area burned.
    • Complications include fluid/electrolyte imbalance, respiratory issues, infection, malnutrition, and psychological distress.
    • Fetal well-being assessment via ultrasound and biophysical testing is crucial.

    Conclusions:

    • Management prioritizes maternal survival, with fetal well-being assessed throughout.
    • Prompt delivery may be indicated for severe maternal burns (≥50% TBSA) in late pregnancy if fetal compromise is evident.
    • Successful maternal recovery often leads to a healthy fetal outcome.
