[Where there ´s smoke - there´s no fire? - Burns from E-Cigarette explosions].

CONCLUSION: In the synopsis of recent literature, we recommend the following management of burns due to e-cigarette explosions. The guidelines of the Advanced Trauma Life Support should be followed, signs of an inhalation trauma should be checked and litmus test should be performed prior to irrigation with aqueous solutions to prevent exothermic reactions with remaining metals. If litmus test shows alkali pH wounds should be irrigated by mineral oil. PMID: 33291165 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
