Electrical burns with head injuries require complex treatment. Prompt detection and surgical removal of intracranial hematomas improve outcomes for these severe burn patients.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Neurosurgery
  • Burn Management

Background:

  • Electrical burns are less common but complex, especially with co-occurring head injuries.
  • This study examines outcomes for patients with combined electrical burns and head trauma.

Observation:

  • Eight patients with electrical burns and head injuries were analyzed.
  • Mean total body surface area burned was 19%.
  • CT scans revealed intracranial hemorrhage in six patients, including intracerebral and epidural hematomas.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention for hematoma removal and skull fractures was performed in half the patients; others received conservative treatment.
  • All patients recovered consciousness with Glasgow Coma Scale scores of 14 or higher.
  • Minimal neurological deficits were observed post-treatment.

Implications:

  • Early detection and prompt surgical evacuation of intracranial hematomas are crucial.
  • Aggressive support for severely injured electrical burn patients can reduce mortality.
  • Integrated management strategies are vital for improving survival and minimizing long-term disability in electrical burn and head injury cases.
