Abstract
Burn injuries represent an important health problem, resulting in severe comorbidity and even death. Described as one of the most uncommon conditions during pregnancy, burn injuries represent a challenge for obstetricians and health care providers among the world, primarily because of the need to find proper treatment options that could benefit both the future mother and the foetus. Diagnosis and treatment require the combined effort of a multidisciplinary team in order to find the best therapeutic options. Given the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy, the body's ability to respond as a result of the stress caused by a burn injury may be affected, while maintaining the viability of the fetus is also considered. Although there is a number of dressings which can be used in superficial burn injuries, in the case of a pregnant woman there are emerging concerns regarding absorption and toxicity. Nonetheless, treatment is individualized according to the degree of burn and gestational age.
