Abstract: Burn is still a frequent accident in children and particularly occurs in young children under 4years. The majority were caused by hot liquids (scalds) with mixed-dermal burns and is commonly treated conservatively with surgery performed at 10-15 days post-injury after healing of superficial burn. Patients with burns greater than 10% need early fluid resuscitation and adequate nutritional support to avoid deepening with infection, improve healing and survival. Hypovolemic shock could be very abrupt in children. Prophylactic prevention of infection and optimization of healing before 21 days improve quality of scar. Management with rehabilitation team is more important in children than in adults because hypertrophic scar and retraction can restrain growth and function particularly for palmar hand burns occurring at the beginning of walking. Follow-up is essential during the growth to assess scar tension requiring secondary surgery. Better knowledge of injury mechanisms should facilitate education and prevention programs and decrease the incidence.Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. Language: fr

Epidemiological analysis of burn injuries in children during the first COVID-19 lockdown, and a comparison with the previous five years.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described the epidemiological impact of COVID-19 lockdown on child burns in a pediatric surgery department compared with previous five years, and found that the incidence of child burn injuries was higher compared to the before lockdown, but no increased delay to attendance recorded.

Evidence for the link between healing time and the development of hypertrophic scars (HTS) in paediatric burns due to scald injury
TL;DR: It is concluded that there is a low risk of HTS formation in scalds healed before 21 days, and that surgery should be reserved forScalds likely to take more than 21 days to heal.
