Free Online Learning Module for CPD on Kids Burns
As I keep saying, the emergency treatment of kids is different, they are not smaller adults. Kids skin burns deeper, quicker and at lower temperatures than adult skin.
Not only that but burns from scalds can cause lifelong problems for children. Skin damage causes scarring that can lead to serious body image and self-esteem issues. Families can also suffer guilt and blame about the accident.
An ounce of prevention is better than cure so understanding risk situations is he important. Soups, noodles, tea and coffee are common causes of scalds for children under the age of five. These can take less than a second to cause a serious burn.
This is a great resource for free online burns training and posters about burns to kids for schools.
Every year over 600 Kids under 5 go to hospital with burn injuries. Its interesting to see how and where these injuries occur.
