Abstract

<p> Pediatric burns are frequently encountered in daily practice. Among them, burns in infants account for a particularly high proportion. In this study, we performed a clinical and statistical review of 184 fresh infant burn patients who visited our hospital over an 11-year period from January 2011 to December 2021.<br> The number of fresh infant burn cases showed a decreasing trend. Hot water and hot soup accounted for two thirds of the injuries, with hot water from electric kettles in particular increasing, whereas hot water from other causes generally decreased. One reason may be that the number of households with electric kettles has been increasing in recent years. It is necessary to share information about the dangers of electric kettles with families with infants, medical institutions, companies, and the mass media, and to implement countermeasures.</p>
