Abstract
The complications related to immobilization, include pressure sores and thromboembolic complications.The risk of these complications is increased in burn patients in general, and more precisely in severe burn patients, but it remains underestimated by practitioners.Through our study, we will try to highlight these different complications and their incidence in relation to all hospitalized burned patients.It is a retrospective study spread over a period of 3 years, from January 2020 to December 2022, with the aim of drawing up an epidemiological profile.
Conclusion: Pressure sores are the most feared complications, despite the wide range of preventive measures implemented to avoid them (change of position, anti-sore mattress, heparin therapy, etc.). This could correlate to the background pain found in almost all burn patients, which would constitute an obstacle to position changes in these patients.
