Abstract
Eight cases of burns during pregnancy were treated in Kuwait during the last 3 years. In all burns above 30 per cent body surface area (BSA), abortion, premature labour and intrauterine fetal death are ever-present complications and the survival of the foetus in burns above 50 per cent BSA is uncommon. Nearly all these complications occur during the first week after the burn. For patients in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy with burns above 50 per cent BSA the prognosis is usually poor unless the pregnancy is terminated within 24-48 h after the burn.
