Chemical mismanagement and skin burns among hospitalized and outpatient department patients
International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, 2019Purpose. This article attempts to elucidate the nature of chemicals causing major and minor skin burns, and their associated characterization across different industries, using Fujian provincial hospitals’ admission and outpatient department records ...

Chemical burns of the eye are one of the most common eye injuries. The extent of the ocular surface damage is influenced by the type, temperature, volume, and pH of the corrosive substance and duration of exposure. Limbal ischemia found on eye assessment is the primary determinant of eventual visual outcome.

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1950
In this report will be presented a synopsis of principles which appear to determine the nature of the injurious action on the eye of externally contacted chemicals, the characteristics of the tissue response and the mode of treatment. The principles will be illustrated by references to specific injurious substances.

Experiments were conducted using non-enzymatic chemical agents (with emphasis on certain mercaptans), alone, in conjunction with enzymatic agents and/or other nonenzymatic chemicals for debridement of burns. Both in vitro (rats, pigs, humans) and in vivo (rats, pigs) tests were carried out.

Chemical Burns make up 3% of burns center admissions and have a mortality rate that varies from 4.1 to 13%. There are over 25,000 products capable of causing chemical burns. These injuries may cause significant tissue necrosis and have the potential for systemic toxicity. This article gives an overview of the various types of chemical burns along with

The management of chemical burns
European Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1999In all reports on severe burns, those due to chemical mechanisms comprise less than 3–4% of the total admitted to hospital as opposed to other more frequent mechanisms such as fire, scalding, electrical and contact with hot solids. These burns have typical features which will be described. The diagnosis, treatment, and handling of these patients raises

Copious lavage with water is the cornerstone of treatment for most types of chemical burns. Particularly dangerous are burns from hydrofluoric acid, which may act as both an alkali and an acid in its effects on the tissues. There are specific antidotes for certain types of chemical burns.

Chemical Burns of the Esophagus
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1983The ingestion of caustic chemical agents, usually accidentally by children, produces a range of injury from minor mouth burns to necrosis of the esophagus and stomach. The type of agent, amount, concentration, and duration of exposure are the determining factors.

Summary Chemical burns form a significant percentage of mortality from burns and total burns cases reported. There are over 65,000 chemicals available on the market, a large number of which can cause tissue damage. Despite this, they are often mismanaged. The severity of the chemical burn is dictated by the substance responsible, the percentage burn,

Chemical skin burns are particularly common in industry, but they also occur in non-work-related environments. Occupationally induced chemical burns are frequently noticed when visiting and examining workers at their work sites. Corrosive chemicals used in hobbies are an increasing cause of skin burns.
