Abstract
The course and treatment of burns during pregnancy in 12 women were studied. The patients were in 15 to 35 gestation week and burns affected 14 to 90.5 per cent of the body surface. Inverse relation was found between severity of burns and fetal survival. After treatment 6 women survived. All who died had more than 50 per cent of the body surface burned. Ten children were born alive, 4 of them prematurely. Four children died (2 of them were still-born and 2 prematurely born). Treatment of these patients (especially drug and operative) should conform to the pregnancy and should be conducted in close collaboration with obstetrician.Entities:
