Filter by:Cyanoacrylate is used in the manufacturing of surgical adhesives, nail glue and super glue. After contact with cotton or wool, among other substances, a reaction is ignited, inflicting thermal damage to the skin underlying clothes. Nine papers have been published about such an incidence, majority of which involve children. In this paper, a four-year-old girl suffering from mixed-first-and-second degree burns due to cyanoacrylate spillage over the digits, anterior aspect of the right thigh and a patch of the skin on the left upper abdomen, spanning 4% of the total body surface area. The clothes were forcefully removed by the mother and shampoo was applied over the area. In the ER, irrigation with normal saline was done followed by dressing with paraffin- impregnated gauzes and silver sulfadiazine. Volar slabs were placed on the hands. The dressing in the hands was later changed to fusidic acid as the burn healed. Silicone sheet dressing was initiated twenty-eight days later after complete healing of the burned skin. An experiment conducted by the authors showed no difference in the pH of different cyanoacrylate products. The pH was not changed after applying shampoo over the nail glue immersed dip-stick. This paper aims to improve awareness about proper first-aid management which predicts the quality of the outcome. Further emphasis is required on providing a safe environment for the children and clear, comprehendible warning of hazards on the label of the cyanoacrylate based-products.
