Abstract
Purpose: to develop models of patients with severe chemical burns.
Material and methods: the analysis of scientific publications and own observations of the causes of chemical burns was carried out.
Results: based on the data obtained, four models of patients with severe chemical burns were formed: industrial acid burns, acid attacks, burns caused by household cleansers and cement burns. According to the results of the study, 87% of patients with chemical injury corresponded to these four models. These models turned out to be homogeneous by gender, age, area, depth and localization of skin lesions, severity of the condition and other characteristics.
Conclusion: the using models of patients make it possible to form homogeneous groups of victims. Due to the homogeneity of these groups, it is possible to develop surgical treatment tactics for each of the formed models, which should improve the results of treatment of burned patients.
