[An analysis of fatal outcomes in deep burns in children].
The authors analyze death cases from deep burns at the Pediatric Burn Center of the town of Saratov in 1978-1992. A relationship between mortality rate, on the one hand, and the size and site of the injury and patients' age, on the other, was revealed. "Critical days" of burn disease were distinguished, which are characterized by increased number of lethal cases. Stages of burn disease were defined, as were the main causes of death. Histologic changes in organs and tissues of the victims are described.
