Introducción: Las quemaduras son unos de los mayores traumas que puede sufrir un ser humano y constituyen la tercera o cuarta causa de muerte accidental a nivel pediátrico. Considerada un evento frecuente pero prevenible, que afecta el órgano más grande del cuerpo humano: la piel.
Objetivo de esta investigación se fundamentó en determinar las características de quemaduras en pacientes pediátricos en forma ambulatoria y hospitalizada en un hospital pediátrico.
Material y método: Fue un estudio observacional, descriptivo, prospectivo y de corte transversal. Se realizó un muestreo probabilístico donde se obtuvo como resultado 154 pacientes.
Resultados: El rango de edad más frecuente fue de 1-4 años. El sexo masculino predomino ante el femenino con un 57,7%. Se determinó que la causa más común de quemaduras en edad pediátrica son las escaldaduras con un 59%. El área del cuerpo más común afectada por quemaduras, fue el tronco anterior (16,6%) y la superficie corporal total quemada (SCTQ) más frecuente fue del 11-20% con un 42,8%.
Conclusión: Las lesiones por quemaduras ocasionadas en niños son superadas sin complicaciones, cumpliendo regímenes como son la asistencia a curas, ya que la mayoría de los niños son niños sanos y las complicaciones desarrolladas son post-trauma como es la deshidratación e infecciones.
Introduction: Burns are one of the greatest traumas that a human being can suffer and are the third or fourth cause of accidental death at the pediatric level. Considered a frequent but preventable event, it affects the largest organ of the human body: the skin. Objective of this research was based on determining the characteristics of burns in pediatric patients on an outpatient basis and hospitalized in a pediatric hospital. Material and method: It was an observational, descriptive, prospective and cross-sectional study. A probabilistic sampling was carried out where 154 patients were obtained as a result. Results: The most frequent age range was 1-4 years. The male sex prevailed over the female with 57.7%. It was determined that the most common cause of burns in pediatric age are scalds with 59%. The most common area of the body affected by burns was the anterior trunk (16.6%) and the most frequent total body surface area burned (TBSA) was 11-20% with 42.8%. Conclusion: Burn injuries caused in children are overcome without complications, complying with regimens such as care, since most children are healthy children and the complications developed are post-trauma, such as dehydration and infections.
