Ann Burns Fire Disasters. 2005 Mar 31;18(1):40-4.
A major kerosene explosion disaster occurred in oil-producing Nigeria in October 2001. One hundred and twenty-five burn patients were treated at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital in a 25-day period of 12/10/01 to 6/11/01. All but two of the patients sustained fire/flame burns resulting from hurricane lantern and cooking stove explosions in home or enclosed environments. In a scene reminiscent of petrol bomb explosions, most burns were extensive, covering the face, chest, and abdomen. Burns were relatively deep because the clothing was usually perfused with the splashed fuel. Severity was greater in females than males, as they were more in contact with lamps and cooking stoves in the household. Almost 50% of the patients required hospitalization upwards of 3 weeks.
2001年10月,石油生产国尼日利亚发生了一起重大煤油爆炸灾难。在2001年10月12日至11月6日的25天时间里,拉各斯州立大学教学医院共收治了125名烧伤患者。除两名患者外,其他所有患者均因家用防风灯和炉灶在家庭或封闭环境中爆炸而遭受火焰烧伤。现场犹如汽油弹爆炸,大多数烧伤面积广泛,覆盖面部、胸部和腹部。由于衣物通常被飞溅的燃料浸透,烧伤相对较深。女性烧伤程度比男性更严重,因为她们在家中与灯具和炉灶接触更多。近50%的患者需要住院3周以上。
