There have been few cases of cold burn related to the exposure of liquid petroleum gas (LPG). We present the case of a young woman exposed to LPG while refueling her car who sustained partial thickness burns to the dorsum of her hand. Contact with LPG leaking from a pressurized system causes tissue damage because of cold injury. Immediate management of LPG is extrapolated from the management of frostbite. The increasing use of LPG mandates an awareness of prevention strategies and management principles in the setting of adverse events.
鲜有因接触液化石油气(LPG)而导致冷烧伤的病例。我们报告了一例年轻女性在给汽车加油时接触 LPG 的病例,她的手背有部分厚度的烧伤。接触来自加压系统的 LPG 泄漏会导致冷伤引起的组织损伤。LPG 的使用越来越多,这就要求人们在发生不良事件时了解预防策略和管理原则。LPG 的冻伤管理原则可以外推用于 LPG 暴露的处理。
