Accidental burns or burn-like injuries continue to occur during lengthy surgical procedures. Many remain unexplained as to the cause. The threat of litigation suppresses discussion of the incidence of injuries of this type -- which are not uncommon. The same threat appears to have suppressed wider discussion of potential solutions. Many of these burn-like injuries are not burns but pressure sores, and as such are preventable. Strategies for reducing the numbers of injuries of this type are discussed.
在长时间的外科手术过程中,意外烧伤或类似烧伤的损伤仍时有发生。许多此类损伤的原因仍不明。诉讼的威胁抑制了对这类并不罕见的损伤发生率的讨论。同样的威胁似乎也抑制了对潜在解决方案的更广泛讨论。许多此类类似烧伤的损伤并非烧伤,而是压疮,因此是可以预防的。本文讨论了减少这类损伤数量的策略。
