White phosphorous (WP) is a metal that causes both caustic and thermal injuries.

White phosphorous creates a characteristic wound appearance accompanied by smoke, a garlic aroma, and spontaneous combustion on contact with air. Decontamination and burning prevention or cessation are key and may rely on aqueous irrigation and submersion or immersion in substances that prevent air contact. Topical cooling is a key aspect of preventing spontaneous ignition as well. Disposal of all contaminated clothing and gear is essential to prevent additional injury, especially to rescuers. Long-term sequelae relate to phosphorous absorption and may lead to death. Chronic or repeated exposure may induce jaw osteonecrosis. Tactical Combat Casualty Care recommendations do not currently address WP injury management.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Education and management regarding WP acute injury and late sequelae is essential for acute battlefield and definitive facility care. Resource-replete and resource-limited settings may use related approaches for acute management and ignition prevention. Current burn wound management recommendations should incorporate specific WP management principles and actions for military clinicians at every level of skill and environment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usae406","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]],"date-time":"2024-08-27T18:37:42Z","timestamp":1724783862000},"page":"e523-e529","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Solid Metal Chemical and Thermal Injury Management"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"190","author":[{"given":"Phillip M","family":"Kemp Bohan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; Division of Trauma, Surgical Care, and Emergency Surgery , Philadelphia, PA 19104,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stacy L","family":"Coulthard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; Division of Trauma, Surgical Care, and Emergency Surgery , Philadelphia, PA 19104,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jay A","family":"Yelon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; Division of Trauma, Surgical Care, and Emergency Surgery , Philadelphia, PA 19104,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gary A","family":"Bass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; Division of Trauma, Surgical Care, and Emergency Surgery , Philadelphia, PA 19104,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary A","family":"Decoteau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; Division of Trauma, Surgical Care, and Emergency Surgery , Philadelphia, PA 19104,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeremy W","family":"Cannon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; Division of Trauma, Surgical Care, and Emergency Surgery , Philadelphia, PA 19104,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1514-1274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lewis J","family":"Kaplan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; Division of Trauma, Surgical Care, and Emergency Surgery , Philadelphia, PA 19104,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Section of Surgical Critical Care, Corporal Michael J.
