At peak temperatures, pavement can be hot enough to cause second-degree burns in a matter of seconds. The goal of this study was to review pavement burn injury admissions at a desert burn center compared with maximum ambient temperatures to determine which temperatures correlated to an increase in burn admissions. We obtained ambient temperature data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. We reviewed our registry for 5 years retrospectively of all pavement burn injury admissions to our burn center. A total of 173 pavement-related burn cases were identified. We demonstrated an exponential increase in the rate of burn admissions as maximum ambient temperatures increased. More than 88% of pavement-related burn injury admissions occurred when the ambient temperature reached 95\u00b0F or higher. The risk per day was extrapolated based on the number of pavement burn injury admissions and the number of days at each of the maximum ambient temperatures recorded. The risk of pavement burns in areas of direct sunlight begins around 95\u00b0F and increases exponentially as ambient temperatures rise. This information will be used for burn outreach prevention and public health awareness programs. The benefit of this study relates to the entire community since high ambient temperatures put everyone at risk for hot pavement burns.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irz049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,2]],"date-time":"2019-04-02T11:20:06Z","timestamp":1554204006000},"page":"422-426","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["A 5-Year Review of Pavement Burns From a Desert Burn Center"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"40","author":[{"suffix":"Jr","given":"Jorge","family":"Vega","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Nevada Las Vegas"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Chestovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Nevada Las Vegas"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Syed","family":"Saquib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lions Burn Care Center, University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Douglas","family":"Fraser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Nevada Las Vegas"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2019091011532194000_CIT0001","first-page":"505","article-title":"Burns","volume-title":"Sabiston textbook of surgery","author":"Jeschke","year":"2017"},{"key":"2019091011532194000_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"563","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-0644(95)70005-6","article-title":"Pavement temperature and burns: streets of fire","volume":"26","author":"Harrington","year":"1995","journal-title":"Ann Emerg Med"},{"key":"2019091011532194000_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"453","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2015.08.026","article-title":"Variation of surface temperatures of different ground materials on hot days: burn risk for the neuropathic foot","volume":"42","author":"Clifton","year":"2016","journal-title":"Burns"},{"key":"2019091011532194000_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2025","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1970.03180110035007","article-title":"Thermal contact burns from streets and highways","volume":"214","author":"Berens","year":"1970","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"2019091011532194000_CIT0005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"975","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ta.0000229810.36074.36","article-title":"Accidental foot burns in children from contact with naturally heated surfaces during summer months: experience from a regional burn center","volume":"61","author":"Sinha","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Trauma"},{"key":"2019091011532194000_CIT0006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e7","DOI":"10.1097\/BCR.0000000000000162","article-title":"Acute pavement burns: a unique subset of burn injuries: a five-year review of resource use and cost impact","volume":"36","author":"Silver","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Burn Care Res"},{"key":"2019091011532194000_CIT0007","author":"National Centers for Environmental Information","year":"2018"},{"key":"2019091011532194000_CIT0008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"30","DOI":"10.1097\/BCR.0b013e3181921efc","article-title":"Epidemiology and outcomes of older adults with burn injury: an analysis of the national burn repository","volume":"30","author":"Pham","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Burn Care Res"},{"key":"2019091011532194000_CIT0009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"509","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2007.06.010","article-title":"A three-decade review of thermal injuries among the elderly at a regional burn centre","volume":"34","author":"Macrino","year":"2008","journal-title":"Burns"}],"container-title":["Journal of Burn Care &amp; Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jbcr\/article-pdf\/40\/4\/422\/28852224\/irz049.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,10]],"date-time":"2019-09-10T16:25:09Z","timestamp":1568132709000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jbcr\/article\/40\/4\/422\/5425552"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,2]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,2]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,21]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jbcr\/irz049","relation":{},"ISSN":["1559-047X","1559-0488"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1559-047X","type":"print"},{"value":"1559-0488","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2019,7]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,2]]}}}
