AbstractA study conducted by the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center Burn Center of 42 burned pregnant patients indicates that the mortality of both the fetus and mother is dependent upon the percent body burn of the mother. Aggressive surgical therapy, including debridement with eschar excision and skin grafting, increases maternal survival. Chances of successful pregnancy were greatest when the mother was in her first or third trimester at the time of injury; however, no differences were noted in maternal or fetal mortality at different gestational months.
