Burns in pregnant women. Medical, ethical and legal aspects of the problem
Medical, ethical and legal aspects of burns in pregnant women are considered. It is shown that not a significant number of clinical cases and a small number of scientific publications create certain difficulties for a comprehensive study of various issues of this topic. It is established that the professional training of doctors, especially the initial level of knowledge of young professionals, is the decisive factor in correctly assessing the severity of the condition of the burned woman both at the site of first aid and at her subsequent treatment in the hospital. The need for careful collection of anamnesis and a full-scale examination of all women of reproductive age who seek medical help or who are admitted to inpatient treatment with thermal trauma is emphasized. Significant is the joint work of a team of specialists, whose main role is assigned to combustiologists, obstetricians, and in the presence of extensive lesions of the skin and resuscitators. Possible negative variants of the course of a thermal trauma are given in the event that the victim begins to engage in self-treatment or turn to non-specialized specialists or physicians. Increases the likelihood of developing general and local complications that negatively affect the normal course of pregnancy. The importance of the topic under consideration for representatives of the military medical service is taken into account, taking into account the quartering of military units in remote garrisons or in cases of their involvement in peacekeeping operations or liquidation of the consequences of peacetime emergency situations on the territory of foreign states.
