Exposures occur both occupationally and in homes. As many as 10% of all burn center admissions are the result of chemical burns. Although a smaller percentage of total burns, the mortality is high and may account for as many as 30% of all burn deaths.1 Careful individual attention is required for chemical burn treatment due to the nature of concomitant tissue injury and chemical exposure.
