在估计小面积烧伤时，传统上认为患者的手掌占身体表面积的 1%。手掌究竟是指整只手的掌面还是除手指以外的手掌，目前还不太明确，也是许多初级医生的困惑所在。 ATLS 教学与文献证据相矛盾，因此我们进行了一项研究来检验有关此问题的证据和实践。这是通过文献检索、电话采访以及对与烧伤面积估计相关的网页进行审查来完成的。结果凸显了该主题目前存在的混乱以及对初级医生进行教育的必要性。 (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd 和 ISBI。版权所有。
In estimating small areas of burns, it is traditionally taught that the patient's palm is 1% of the body surface area. Whether the palm means the palmar surface of the whole hand or palm excluding the fingers, has not been very clear and is a source of confusion to many junior doctors. The ATLS teaching has been in contradiction to the evidence from literature and hence we undertook a study to examine the evidence and practices regarding this issue. It was done through a literature search, telephonic interviews and a review of Web-pages related to bums area estimation. The results highlighted the existing confusion on the topic and the need for educating junior doctors. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI. All rights reserved.
