Evaluation of hematological parameters and alterations in burned patients

Background: Burn injuries, categorized into four degrees, are common in-home accidents caused by heat, cold, electricity, chemicals, radiation, and friction. This study aims to determine the ideal parameters for burn patients and regulate their hematological parameters to ensure appropriate care and overall well-being. Materials and Methods: From 148 victims’ examinations only 40 patient case histories have been examined. Investigations are conducted into determination of various hematological parameters. Statistic investigation of those parameters represented by bar diagrams to compute t-values and p values. Results: The study involved 40 adult burn patients, with a mean age of 31.05±12.05. Women were more affected than men, with thermal burn being the most common. The mean TBSA was 22.0±13%, with a higher rate of 2nd degree burn. On Statistical analysis of hematological parameters showed negative “t” statistic values, with hemoglobin showing the highest value t-value (2.20). Age-based comparisons showed a decrease in Hb and RBC, with platelets, WBC, neutrophils, and ESR significantly reduced. Positive correlations were found for PCV (0.183, p=0.217), Hb (0.299, p<0.05), RBC (0.297, p<0.05), lymphocytes (0.213, p=0.145), monocytes (0.063, p=0.687), and eosinophils (0.190, p=0.198). Conclusion: Hematological characteristics, bleeding profiles, and renal and hepatic dysfunction are all brought on by burn injuries. For medical teams to forecast prognosis and treatment response, biochemical marker estimation is essential. Burn patients frequently have decreased platelet counts, higher TLC, and lower hemoglobin levels. For better results, liver, kidney, serum electrolyte, and CBC monitoring are crucial.
