 Burns are a major cause of injury among young children accounting for the third highest number of deaths after motor vehicle accidents and drowning. They also result in the longest hospital stays and the highest cost of treatment. Most burns occur due to scalding from hot liquids which mostly affect children under four years old. Other types of burns include electrical, chemical and intentional injury. Children's behaviors such as exploration and lack of understanding of danger can lead to burns. After initial stabilization assessments of the extent of the burn and overall health must be conducted. The London Browder Chart or the Child's Palm can be used to estimate total body surface area, TBSA. Inhalation injury may require intubation if necessary. Risk factors and features of intentional injury should be identified and monitored. Prevention strategies focus on education, supervision and safety measures.
