ABSTRACT
The danger of fire and electric current is underestimated by many people. The associated severe burn injuries are mainly treated in special burn centers because they are challenging and tend to have a strong impact on health-related quality of life. This case report describes a 20-year-old female severe burn victim who suffered second- to third-degree burns to approximately 80% of her total body surface. During in-patient care, we focused on inhalation trauma and anti-infective therapy, surgical management, physiotherapeutic and occupational therapy, in-patient rehabilitation measures, compression therapy and accompanying psychological co-treatment. This interdisciplinary treatment focused on restoring the best possible quality of life for burn victims.
Les dangers du feu et de l'électricité sont largement sous-estimés par la population. Les brûlures graves relèvent des centres spécialisés en raison de la complexité de leur prise en charge et de leur impact majeur sur la qualité de vie. Nous rapportons le cas d'une femme de 20 ans brûlée sur 80% de SCT (2ème et 3ème degrés). La prise en charge initiale a associé le traitement de l'inhalation de fumées, le traitement antiinfectieux, la chirurgie, la rééducation, la pressothérapie et l'accompagnement psychologique, dans le but d'optimiser la qualité de la vie à venir.
