Abstract
Purpose: to develop models of patients with severe hot liquid scald. Material and methods. Тhe analysis of scientific publications and own observations of the causes of hot liquids scald was carried out. Results. Based on the data obtained, four models of patients with severe hot liquids scald were formed: immersion injury (falling or prolonged stay in the bath), non-immersion injury (scalds in the shower or hot liquid splashing), cooking-related burns and a special type of immersion scald caused by communal incidence. According to the results of the study, 97% of patients with hot liquids scald corresponded to these four models. These models turned out to be homogeneous by gender, age, area, depth and localization of skin lesions, severity of the condition and other characteristics. Conclusion. Тhe use models of patients make it possible to form homogeneous groups of victims. Due to the homogeneity of these groups, it is possible to develop surgical treatment tactics for each of the formed models, which should improve the results of treatment of burned patients.
