Burns, although considered accidents, represent one of the leading causes of injury in children worldwide. What makes this topic even more crucial is the uniqueness of burns in the pediatric population, characterized by anatomical and physiological differences compared to adults. Objective: To describe the initial approach and treatment of patients with burns of different degrees of injury between 0 and 12 years of age. Methodology: The research conducts comprehensive literature searches across diverse scientific databases to ensure the thorough collection of relevant information. Researchers use keywords in Spanish and English, such as "child burns" and "child burn care," to comprehensively address community issues in burn management.
