RESUMEN
Estudio descriptivo transversal que muestra las características de las quemaduras atendidas en un Centro de Atención Primaria (CAP) de ámbito urbano en Barcelona durante el periodo comprendido desde 19/7/2005 hasta 11/8/2007 (N=93). Los pacientes menores de 15 años fueron excluidos. El 88% (82; IC del 95% 81,41-94,59) de las quemaduras se debió a un agente térmico. El aceite de cocina es el primer elemento causal (24; 27%; IC del 95% 17,99-36,01). El 70% de las heridas señaló dérmicas superficiales (65; IC del 95% 60,70-79,30). El 61% (57; IC del 95% 51,70-70,30) se localizó en EESS (extremidades superiores). La superficie corporal quemada media registrada indicó 0,0076% (mediana=0,005%; rango=0,0001-0,5000%). El mayor número de heridas se observó en los varones de 31 a 45 años (17%; 16; IC del 95% 9,38-24,62). Se precisan programas de educación para la salud centrados en la prevención y actuación ante una quemadura. Estudios como éste pueden resultar útiles a la hora de iniciar estrategias preventivas o educativas (AU)
ABSTRACT
This article concerns a transversal descriptive study which shows the characteristics of burns treated in a Primary Health Care Center in an urban environment in Barcelona from 19 July 2005 until 11 August 2007 (N=93). Patients younger than 15 were excluded from this study. 88% (82; IC of 95% 81,41-94,59) of the burns treated were caused by a thermal agent. Kitchen cooking oil ranks first as the cause of burns (24; 27%; IC of 95% 17,99-36,01). 70% of the burns studied had signs of superficial skin damage (65; IC of 95% 60,70-79,30). 61% (57; IC of 95% 51,70-70,30) of these burns were located on upper extremities. The average recorded body surface burned was 0.0076% (median=0,005%; range=0,0001-0,5000%). The greatest number of wounds were observed among men aged 31 to 45 (17%; 16; IC of 95% 9,38-24,62). Educational health programs which focus on prevention of, and first aid care for, burns are needed. Studies like this one may prove useful when starting preventive or educational strategies (AU)
