  • Title: The burned hand.
    Author: Belliappa PP, McCabe SJ.
    Journal: Hand Clin; 1993 May; 9(2):313-24. PubMed ID: 8509468.
    Abstract:
    Like other work-related injuries, the performance and documentation of a thorough history and physical examination will allow optimal care of the burned worker by accepted management methods. Through understanding of the physical properties of electricity and improving understanding of the pathophysiology of the electric injury, state-of-the-art surgical reconstruction can be appropriately applied. The diversity of chemical compounds at the work place and the wide variety of early measures advocated for treatment requires prevention of chemical burns and careful on-site documentation of chemicals and availability of first aid measures.
