  • Title: Chemical burns: pathophysiology and treatment.
    Author: Palao R, Monge I, Ruiz M, Barret JP.
    Journal: Burns; 2010 May; 36(3):295-304. PubMed ID: 19864073.
    Abstract:
    Chemical burns continue to pose a variety of dilemmas to the clinician managing such cases. Assessment of burn depth is often difficult and the decision whether to excise the wound early is not always clear-cut. In this updated review, common agents are classified and the basic principles of management and specific recommendations are examined. The complications arising from exposure to these chemicals and the supportive measures needed during treatment are also described.
