Abstract

From 1978 to 1987 107 cases of chemical burns were treated. The patients were mainly young and middle age people (83.08%), with mean burned areas 17.8%. The majority of involved parts were low extremities. 57.44% of burned eyes became blind. Mean days in hospital were 43 days. Cure rate was 98.13% and death rate 1.87%. We emphasized that burned wounds must instantly be washed down with water, intoxication resulting from chemical matters must be effectively treated. Diagnosis of depth of burned wound by acids and means of prevention of chemical burns were also discussed.
