Abstract
The operating theatre must provide a safe, efficient, user-friendly environment. Operating room burns are a significant cause of morbidity and potential liability. Causes include warming of the patient, operative room fires and explosions, electrosurgical units, and less common causes, such as operating room lights, chemicals, lasers, and PTD. Management includes initial evaluation, information gathering, wound care, pain control, and finally follow-up. Aim of the work: increase awareness of intraoperative burns during standard procedures and provide recommendations for prevention and procedures to follow after their occurrence. Patients and methods: This study included ten patients with various forms of operating theatre burn injuries during the four years period from April 2002 to April 2006. Conclusion: Early E&G of operating theatre burn injuries has reduced burn morbidity and mortality more than any other intervention.
