Abstract

Objective: The hand is one of the most frequently affected body parts by burn injuries with a rate of 80% among all burn wounds. Early and effective treatment ensures the best chance of survival as well as a good functional prognosis. The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiology, variation, relationship between etiology and hospital stay, clinical features, and management of hand burns. Material and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted the University of Health Sciences; Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Application and Research Center, Departmant of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery and the Intensive Burn Care Unit between April 2009 and April 2014. Burns were assessed based on etiology, anatomical location, percentage of total body surface area affected, and depth of injury. Treatment was categorized as conservative, elective operative, or urgent operative.Results: In the study period, 788 patients were admitted to our Burn Unit. Of these, 240 were females (30.5%) and 548 were males (69.5%). The most common type of burn injury in this study was thermal injury (695 cases; 88.2%), followed by electrical injury (67 cases; 8.5%), and chemical, frictional or unknown injuries (26 cases; 3.3%). Majority (more than 85%) of the patients had second-degree burns, and some had third-degree burns.Conclusions: Burns commonly affect the hands, and many functional problems may develop if appropriate basic treatments are neglected. The best treatment for burns is prevention. Appropriate indoor arrangement and simple but effective measures that can be taken at home can significantly reduce burn trauma exposure.

Özet

Amaç: El yanık travmasında; vücudun en sık etkilenen bölümüdür. Bütün yanıkların %80'den fazlası eli etkiler. Erken tedavi el fonksiyonlarını korumak ve komplikasyonları azaltmak açısından çok büyük önem arz eder. Bu çalışmadaki amaç; yanık epidemiyolojisi, yanık etyolojisi ve hastanede yatış süresi arasındaki ilişki, klinik özellikler ve el yanıklarında tedavi yaklaşımını belirlemektir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif çalışma yanık ünitesinde Nisan 2009 ve Nisan 2014 arası yatırılarak tedavi edilmiş olan el yanıklarını kapsamaktadır. El yanıklarındaki etiyoloji, hastanede yatış süresi, yapılan tedavilere göre değerlendirilmiş olup; tedavi seçenekleri konservatif ve acil cerrahi tedavi olarak farklı şekilde değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Çalışma periyodunda 788 hasta yanık ünitesinde yatırılarak tedavi edildi. Bu hastaların 240'u kadın (%30,5), 548'i erkek (%69,5) idi. Bu çalışmada en sık rastlanan yanık şekli sıcak madde ile temas yaralanması (695 olgu -%88,2) ve ikinci sıklıktaki yanık yaralanma elektrik yaralanması (67 olgu-%8,5) ve diğerlerinde kimyasal, sürtünme ve bilinmeyen yanık hasarı (26 olgu-%3,3). Hastaların çoğunluğu (%85'in üzerinde) ikinci derecede yanık ve kalan hastalar üçüncü derece yanık hasarına sahipti.Sonuç: Genel vücut yanıklarında eller yaygın olarak etkilenir ve eğer temel tedaviler göz ardı edilirse birçok fonksiyonel problem ortaya çıkabilir. El yanıklarının ve genel vücut yanıklarının en iyi tedavisi önlemdir. Uygun iç mekan düzenlemeleri, evde yapılabilecek basit ancak etkili önlemler, yanık travması maruziyetini önemli ölçüde azaltır. El yanıkları sonrası erken dönem rehabilitasyon olası fonksiyonel problemleri azaltmanın en önemli kısımlarından biridir.
