ABSTRACT
Background: There is no impact without an imprint. Such an imprint can range from a
simple scar to functio laesa of an organ. The
burns are much more notorious than any other sort of trauma/impact. Most common
physiological imperilments of burns can be permanent scarring, disfigurement,
mobility restrictions, loss of sensations and permanent pain etc. The frequency
of all these imperilments is described in the current research.
Methodology:
The study was carried out in year 2018 from
January to September in AED of Jinnah Hospital Lahore. There were 300 surviving
victims of burns of domestic violence collected through non-probability
consecutive purposive sampling for a descriptive cross-sectional study.
Results: The study revealed the permanent pain and discomfort as the most
frequent physiological imperilments reported to be 27% followed by mobility
restrictions occurring in 23% third commonest was the sensorineural loss
observed in 17% approximately among all the cases participating in the current
study.
Conclusion: We concluded escaping the burns incident uneventfully may be possible if
the burns were minor or medical care services were up to the par and delivered
well in time.
