Abstract: (203 Views)
Background: Burns in pregnancy are uniquely challenging due to the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy, as well as endangering the life of the mother and the fetus.
Case Report: The case was a 35-year-old pregnant woman with a history of one normal delivery and a gestational age of 39 weeks, referred to Bojnord Hospital due to burns in the abdomen and breast caused by a pressure cooker bursting.
Discussion & Conclusion: The management of injured pregnant patients often requires a team consisting of several clinical disciplines to provide the desired result for the mother and the fetus. The initial assessment of pregnant trauma patients should be focused on stabilizing the mother and taking into account the warning signs of the mother or the fetus. The necessary recommendations for a pregnant woman with burns include: rapid resuscitation of fluids, supplemental oxygen, considering early mechanical ventilation, early delivery of the fetus (if it is in the third trimester of pregnancy), management of possible venous thrombosis, and management of sepsis with early treatment.
