Burn is a dermal injury mainly caused by heat. It occurs by flame, boiling water or liquid, steam, sparks, chemicals, radiation, and electricity. Burn is classified as four grades depending on how deep into the skin a person is burned. As the deep second-degree burns possibly leave scars, it can have various physical, psychological, and aesthetical effects with seriousness on the patient with a burn. This report is on the 50-year-old female patient who had a burn with boiling water and a mixture condition of superficial and deep second degree burn. The Korean medical treatments such as Herbal acupuncture, Herbal medication, Acupuncture, Herbal-ointment were used for 17 days to treat effectively the patient with a mixture of superficial and deep second degree burn. It is difficult to find out the report that treats a burn with Korean medical treatment. If more clinical treatments as in this report are proved to be effective, we are able to expect that Korean medical treatment should be a good treatment in burn.

Incidence of low-temperature contact burn by use of an electric pad is increased recently, especially in depressed sensory. Acquired immune deficiency syndrome patient using antiretroviral agent suffered with sensory depression as side effect. There are many limitations in wounds treatment of these patients. These patients are vulnerable to infection due to their weak immunity, so it is necessary to keep them in a state of isolation when a wound occurs. We report a case of a third degree burn by electric pad with a surface area of approximately 5% of the body surface of a patient who underwent a sensory depression, which is a side effect of antiretroviral drugs used for treatment in patients with AIDS. In this regard, we report the case with literature review, which is safely recovered using negative-pressure wound therapy and split-thickness skin graft.

본 연구는 병원 전 단계에서 발생한 화상환자의 유형별 특수성을 이해하여 초기 환자 상태의 어떠한 차이점이 있는지를 파악하고자 한다. 이를 위해 2013년도 경기도 소방구급대 출동 내역 중 화상환자 이송 자료 1,223건을 분석하였다. 화상사고는 10세 이하(26.0%)에서 가장 많았으며, 대부분 가정(51.3%)에서 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 화상 유형별 환자의 상태는 평균적으로 안정적이었으나 전기로 인한 화상은 의식 상태 U(무반응)가 10.7%로 타 화상 유형보다 U(무반응)의 비율이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났으며 체온 $35.90^{\circ}C$, 화상 깊이 3도(39.28%) 등 타 유형과 달리 초기 환자의 상태는 심각한 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따른 화상 유형별 초기 환자 상태를 파악하여 병원 전 단계의 효과적인 대응이 필요하겠다.

Wound caused by high-tension electrical burns is difficult to manage because the wound is deep and complex. The wound is progressively necrotic due to microvascular injury resulting in deep tissue exposure. So, coverage of the wound at the entry point and the exit point is cumbersome, often requiring flap coverage. We experienced a case of one patient for peroneal artery perforator free flap coverage on the palm of the right hand of the entry point of electrical burn. The left foot wound of electrical exit point was covered by full thickness skin graft. Also a small wound was on the left side of the lower back was the exit point of electrical burn. The lower back wound was healed and recurred repeatedly after burn. On postburn day 6 month, through the radiologic exam, metal shadow was identified in the left gluteus muscle forming chronic sinus. We explored the wound of sinus and a foreign body was identified in the sac as multi braid wires thin as hair. According to the patient's past history, we suspected that the back wound was caused by electrical burn injury through the wires.

Purpose: Pain management in burn treatment is important in improving wound healing and quality of life. Ibuprofen is a proven pain relieving agent in patients with partial thickness burn by intraveous injection. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Biatain Ibu^® (polyurethane foam containing ibuprofen) in pain control for outpatients with partial thickness burns. Methods: A prospective randomized clinical trial was performed in outpatients with partial thickness burn from August 1, 2017 to July 31, 2018. Acute pain, chronic pain, complications, days for re-epithelialization and patient's satisfaction were compared between Biatain Ibu^® and Biatain^® groups. Results: A total of 20 patients (Biatain Ibu^®, n=10; Biatain^®, n=10) were assessed in the trial. On Burn days 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and 15, the acute pain levels were significantly lower in the Biatain Ibu^® group than in the Biatain^® group. Complications, chronic pain levels and days for re-epithelialization were not significantly different between the two groups. Patient's satisfaction was not statistically significant but was higher in the Biatain Ibu^® group. Conclusion: Biatain Ibu^® is effective in relieving pain in outpatients with partial thickness burn without decreasing patient satisfaction, wound healing ability or developing any complications.

Chronic burn scars often cause various skin malignancies at rates of up to 2%. These lesions are usually squamous cell carcinomas, but rarely, malignant melanoma is reported. We report a 67-year-old male with a malignant melanoma on a burn scar with regional metastasis. This patient presented an ulcerative lesion only in 2 weeks. After histopathological diagnosis, we performed only palliative surgery on patient's demand, and followed up the subsequent deterioration course. Our case reemphasizes the need for rapid diagnosis and treatment when suspect lesions are present on chronic burn scar. Also, physician should be in mind and inform the patient about malignant melanoma and its aggressive course.

Burns are one of the most extensive injuries of soft tissues as well as skin, occasionally resulting in extensive, deep wounds and death. Burn wounds can lead to severe physical and psychological distress because of excessive scarring and skin contractures. Treatment of burn wounds has always been a challenging problem and many different methods have been used to treat such injuries. We report here on treating a patient with a burn wound using 830-nm light emitting diode (LED) phototherapy combined with epidermal growth factor (EGF) solution. After five daily sessions of LED with EGF solution treatment, the patient demonstrated nearly complete improvement with no remarkable side effects. We suggest that LED phototherapy combined with EGF solution could be an effective and safe treatment option for treating burn wounds.

본 연구의 목적은 화상환자 가족의 부담감에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 확인하기 위해 시도된 서술적 조사이다. 연구 대상자는 D시, S시, B시, P시에 소재한 4개 화상전문병원에 입원한 $2^{\circ}$ 이상의 화상환자를 돌보는 가족들 120명을 편의 표집하였고, 자료분석을 위해 t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe' test, Multiple linear regrassion을 시행하였다. 연구결과는 화상환자를 돌보는 가족의 부담감 중 돌봄의 의미와 평가, 환자의 미래에 대한 부담감이 가장 높았다. 화상환자를 돌보는 가족의 부담감 영향요인으로는 결혼상태, 간병시간, 피부이식수술, 체표면적(%)이었고, 설명력은 25.9%로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 장시간 화상환자를 돌보는 가족들의 신체적, 정서적 부담감을 감소시키기 위한 간호중재 프로그램 개발과 간병 시간을 조절할 수 있는 간병서비스가 필요하다.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to report that Korean Medicine treatment is effective in treating pain in burn patients. Results : We effectively reduced the pain that occurred after the end of the burn treatment through Korean Medicine such as multiple acupuncture, cupping, Sugi therapy, and external salve. VAS(Visual Analog Scale) values were reduced from 8 to 2 after about 23 days of treatment. Conclusions : This report shows that there was no special effect on dermatology treatment for pain that occurred after the end of treatment of burn patient, but it can also be excellent through Korean Medicine alone. It's only one case, so it cannot be determined that Korean Medicine for a burn is excellent. but if more excellent burn treatment of Korean Medicine is reported continuously, it will prove its validity. Therefore, it is hoped that more case reports and studies on burn treatments will be done in the future.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the degree of stress, resilience, focusing manner, and quality of life among burn rehabilitation patients. Furthermore, it seeks to identify factors affecting the quality of life in this patient group. Methods: The participants of this study were 129 burn patients, aged 19 or older, who received treatment at the rehabilitation of a university hospital in Seoul. Data were collected from June 22 to August 31, 2022 through self-report questionnaires covering stress, resilience, focusing manner and quality of life.The data were analyzed using the SPSS 29.0 program. Results: Multiple regression analysis showed that education level, cause of burn, area of burn, pain, stress, and focusing manner significantly affected the quality of life, explaining 74.5% of the variance. Conclusion: In particular, focusing manner was a major factor affecting the quality of life in burn rehabilitation patients. Therefore, there is a need to develop intervention programs aimed at increasing focusing manner in this patient group.
