Article Synopsis
- Many burn survivors have concerns about their appearance, but there's not enough research on psychological support for these worries early on.
- A study with 15 adults revealed that while early psychological interventions are seen as beneficial when delivered by experienced therapists, participants also faced challenges like reluctance to seek help and time constraints.
- Implementing these early interventions in routine burn care could help make them more accepted and integrated into recovery processes.*

The advantages of airbags in reducing the rate of severe injuries and fatalities in motor vehicle crashes are well known but the physical act of airbag deployment can lead to injury to the passenger and the spectrum of airbag trauma resulting from deployment of vehicle airbags has been extensively reported. We present the first reported case of a pediatric burn injury resulting from the accidental deployment of an airbag in an aircraft. A four-year-old female child sustained injuries to the left side of her face and body while she was aboard a stationary airplane and the airbag concealed within the seat belt of her airplane seat unexpectedly and inexplicably deployed just before departure.
