Electrical burns are an important preventable cause of injury in children. The objective of this study was to document pediatric electrical burns treated in our center. Twenty−three children with electrical burns were treated between 1997 and 2001. Prospective data collection of demographics, nature of contact with electricity, site, total body surface area involved (TBSA), medical and surgical interventions and complications were examined. The median age was six. The majority of burns were caused by direct contact with electrical cords, followed by direct contact with faulty electrical appliances and insertion of foreign metal objects into the electric wall outlet. An adult supervised most of the children when the injury occurred and most sustained hand burns. Although the burns areas were relatively small in size, 61% required skin grafting. Twenty−one percent of the children required secondary surgery to release contractures. In conclusion, electrical burns cause significant morbidity to children and there is clearly a wide scope for prevention.

BACKGROUND: Most patients and their parents experience difficulty in fully appreciating the implications and demands of orthodontic treatment. This is largely because of inadequate understanding of the process of treatment or the commitment required. OBJECTIVES: To determine if a specifically developed video information package could significantly increase patient awareness of the implications of a full course of orthodontic treatment. Changes in attitude to orthodontic treatment after viewing the package were also measured. METHODS: Year 7 (12 year-old) students in two primary schools in the City of Gold Coast, Australia were randomly allocated to either a study group or a control group. Knowledge of and attitude to orthodontic treatment were measured with self-administered questionnaires before and after viewing the information package. RESULTS: The intervention group showed a 15 per cent gain in knowledge (p < 0.001). There was no gain in knowledge for the 45 students in the control group. There was no measured change in perception of need for orthodontic treatment in the study group. There was, however, an increase in potential compliance and positive attitude to the appearance of orthodontic appliances. There was a small increase in willingness to undertake treatment, but this was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: The information package developed for this study increased awareness of the implications and practical difficulties which may be encountered during a course of orthodontic treatment, and produced some changes in attitude to treatment.
