Abstract

The authors evaluate the mortality of severely burned children hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit, Prague Burns Centre from 1994 till 1997. There were hospitalized 345 children (aged 3 months-15 years, 1%-88% TBSA, mixed superficial and deep burns). No child died from burn shock during the early postburn period. Five children who died suffered deep burns greater than 50% of TBSA and at necropsy there were identified signs of multiple organ system failure which was related to infection.
