  • Title: Treating cement burns in the emergency department.
    Author: Summers A.
    Journal: Emerg Nurse; 2013 Mar; 20(10):30-1. PubMed ID: 23586170.
    Abstract:
    Use of cement is widespread in the UK and warnings about burns caused by contact with the material are usually printed on bags and delivery dockets. Nevertheless, about 2 per cent of people admitted to burns units have injuries, many serious, caused by prolonged contact with wet cement. This article explores the pathophysiology of cement burns, and outlines the best forms of treatment and prevention.
