Despite many medical advances, burns continue to remain a challenging problem due to the lack of infrastructure and trained professionals as well as the increased cost of treatment, all of which have an impact on the outcome. There is very little information on the pattern of outcomes among burn patients in relation to clinical aspects in India. Hence, the present study was undertaken in a burns unit to determine selected epidemiological variables, assess the clinical aspects (etiology, extent and anatomical location) and first aid measures adopted and finally to analyse the outcomes in cases of burn injuries. In addition, we have sought to suggest measures to remove myths about pre-hospital burn treatment and provide recommendations to healthcare professionals.
尽管医学取得了诸多进步，但由于基础设施和专业医护人员的匮乏以及治疗成本的增加，烧伤仍然是一个具有挑战性的问题，所有这些因素都会对治疗结果产生影响。在印度，关于烧伤患者的治疗结果模式与临床方面相关的信息非常少。因此，本研究在一个烧伤科开展，以确定选定的流行病学变量，评估临床方面（病因、范围和解剖位置）以及所采取的急救措施，最后分析烧伤病例的治疗结果。此外，我们试图提出措施以消除关于院前烧伤治疗的误解，并为医护人员提供建议。
