Adult Male Chemical Burn to Body
Quote:
A young adult male working in a factory was accidently exposed to anhydrous ammonia gas. He was referred to the plastic surgery unit.

He underwent a wash of all his chemical burn areas in the casualty with copious amount of water then surgical debridement and regular dressings were applied. He made an uneventful recovery and was advised skin grafting but did decided not to have it.
