ABSTRACT

Background: burns in pregnant women are a challenge for the multidisciplinary team dealing with their treatment. These lesions depending on its size, depth and time of gestation of patients, may compromise the life of the mother and the fetus.
Objective: to determine the morbidity and mortality due to burns in pregnant women and the management followed depending on gestation time, in patients treated with these features in the Burns unit at the University Hospital Manuel Ascunce Domenech in Camagüey city from 2001 to 2010.
Method: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted. The universe was constituted by 585 women who suffered burns during this period; 16 pregnant patients were taken through a non probabilistic sampling.
Results: seven pregnant women were in the second trimester of their pregnancy for a 43.75 %, from the total of the injured four had large burns. The less serious rate represented 50 % of the total number of the injured. With the 68.75 % of pregnant women an expectant management was followed.
Conclusions: the majority of pregnant women were classified as less serious. The maternal state when discharge from hospital was satisfactory in all patients, unlike the fetal state.
