概括
在儿童中引起烧伤的热液体或固体的粘度不会影响烧伤感染的风险. 烧伤大小,而不是热源粘度,是儿科烧伤感染发展的关键因素.
科学领域:
- 儿科烧伤护理 儿科烧伤护理
- 伤口感染流行病学 伤口感染流行病学
- 伤害预防 预防伤害
背景情况:
- 烧伤是五岁以下儿童的主要烧伤伤害,通常与食物准备有关.
- 产生热量的物质的粘度各不相同,从低 (液体) 到高 (固体).
- 热源粘度与儿童烧伤伤口感染 (BWI) 风险之间的关系尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 调查热源粘度与儿童烧伤中BWI发展之间的关联.
- 为了确定热源的类型是否会在受伤后的第一周内影响感染风险.
主要方法:
- 对271名儿童 (≤5岁) 进行了回顾性研究,这些儿童因烧伤而入院 (2015-2020年).
- 在开始抗生素治疗 (2-7天) 期间,根据特定标准定义的BWI.
- 后勤回归分析以评估热源粘度和BWI之间的关联,控制燃烧大小.
主要成果:
- 烧伤感染 (BWI) 在26%的儿童中发生.
- 最常见的烧伤来自热液体 (70%),其次是半固体 (19%) 和固体 (13%).
- 后勤回归显示,烧伤大小 (身体总表面积) 与BWI显著相关,而热源粘度则没有.
结论:
- 在儿童中引起烧伤的热源的粘度似乎不会影响患烧伤感染的风险.
- 烧伤大小是儿科烧伤病例中BWI的独立预测因素.
- 研究结果表明,在评估感染风险时,应关注烧伤严重程度,而不是热源类型.

Burn Injuries
2.4K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Decreased Body Temperature
602
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
11.5K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures
2.5K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Methods of reducing fever
645
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.
