The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1988
In chemical skin injuries, reduction of the time of exposure to the causative agent and recognition of systemic toxicity are necessary to lessen the severity of the insult, reduce morbidity, and maximize survival. During a 17-year period (1969 through 1985), 87 (2.1%) of the 4,212 burned patients admitted to the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research

Burns, 1989
This study reports the incidence and nature of chemical burns admitted to a large regional burns unit between 1 January 1981 and 31 December 1987. Of the 3251 patients admitted, 100 had sustained chemical burns; although they only comprised 3.1 per cent of the workload they accounted for 16.5 per cent of all industrial burning accidents.

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2015
There is a vast and ever-expanding variety of potentially harmful chemicals in the military, industrial, and domestic landscape. Chemical burns make up a small proportion of all skin burns, yet they can cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Additionally, the hand and upper extremity are the most frequently involved parts of the body in chemical ...

Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, 1986
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.

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2022
Chemical burns represent a small number of burn injuries in the UK. They have the potential to be life-threatening with serious aesthetic and functional consequences, accounting for 30% of all deaths from burns. Chemical burns are caused by corrosive agents (acids and alkali) leading to extensive tissue damage.

Chemical burns account for up to one-third of burn-related deaths, necessitating careful and timely management of these injuries. This chapter will discuss the classes of chemicals that cause burns and their mechanisms of action. It will go on to describe the pathophysiology and clinical features of chemical burns. Laboratory tests and imaging that may
