Admissions to a new burn unit in Gizan, Saudi Arabia.
In an attempt to introduce western treatment principles, Danish chiefs have been in charge of a new Burn Unit in Gizan for the first 2 years and 9 months. We have treated 348 burned patients with a median 16 per cent estimated area of burn (EAB). One-quarter of the patients had more than 25 per cent EAB. Flame burns were the most frequent and females suffered the more severe injury. The mechanisms of burning are discussed.
