Epidemiology and Management of Pediatric Head and Neck Burns: An Institutional Review.

Background: Pediatric head and neck burns (HNBs) require special attention due to the potential for long-term disfigurement, functional impairment, and psychosocial stigma.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients <18 years old admitted to Grady Memorial Hospital with a diagnosis of HNB from 2009-2017. Demographic data, burn characteristics, management, and hospital course were analyzed.

Management of Head and Neck Burns-A 15-Year Review.

Purpose: The purpose of this project was to characterize patients with isolated head and neck burns admitted to the Grady Memorial Hospital (GMH) Burn Center (Atlanta, GA).

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective case series of patients admitted to the GMH Burn Center with the primary diagnosis of head and neck burns from 2000 through 2015. Demographic data (gender and age) were recorded.

Assessing the percent BSA involved in a burn is essential in patient management. The "Rule of Nines" is one traditional method of estimating BSA. This rule assumes that adults have the same distribution of BSA percentages, regardless of body shape and weight.
