Abstract

Ammonia related injuries are rarely seen but they are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Liquid ammonia burns the skin through a freezing mechanism, a thermal mechanism, and an alkali burn as well. The burn associated with liquid ammonia is multifactorial. In this case report we aimed to point out the pathophysiology and treatment of cutaneous burn wound caused by liquid ammonia.

Özet

Amonyak ilişkili yaralanmalar nadirdir fakat yüksek mortalite ve morbitideye neden olurlar. Sıvı amonyak nedenli deri yanıklarının mekanizması multifaktöriyeldir ve alkali yanıkların mekanizmasına benzerdir. Bu olgu sunumunda sıvı amonyak uygulanması sonucu gelişen yanık lezyonunun patofizyolojisi ve tedavisini ortaya koymayı amaçladık
