We present a case series of patients with lithium\u2010ion battery\u2010related burns and describe the clinical characteristics of this cohort. To further understand emerging trends, we compare our specialty inpatient case series with emergency department (ED) data collated by the Queensland Injury Surveillance Unit (QISU).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is a retrospective case series of all patients admitted to the Professor Stuart Pegg Adult Burns Centre for burns relating to lithium\u2010ion batteries between January 2014 and October 2023. In addition, we provide a retrospective data analysis of ED presentations for lithium\u2010ion battery\u2010related burns or blast injuries collated by the QISU.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Within the case series data, the most common injuries caused by lithium\u2010ion batteries leading to burn unit admissions were due to e\u2010scooters (57.1%). Burns relating to e\u2010scooter batteries were more likely to involve a larger total body surface area and to be deeper in nature, than burns due to other products. The most common ED presentations were from energy storage devices such as powerpacks (43%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Lithium\u2010ion battery\u2010related burns are becoming more frequent. The majority of inpatient managed cases involved burns due to larger lithium\u2010ion batteries used in e\u2010scooters. This is the first Australian case series describing severe burns caused by this mechanism. Primary prevention through design, technological and behavioural strategies is required.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ans.19218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,29]],"date-time":"2024-08-29T05:38:40Z","timestamp":1724909920000},"page":"1983-1989","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Lithium\u2010ion battery related burns and emerging trends: a retrospective case series and data analysis of emergency presentations"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"94","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4878-2382","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michelle","family":"Duff","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silvia","family":"Manzanero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jamieson Trauma Institute Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital  Brisbane Queensland Australia"},{"name":"School of Clinical Sciences Queensland University of Technology  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruth","family":"Barker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queensland Injury and Surveillance Unit Jamieson Trauma Institute, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Panos","family":"Barlas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jamieson Trauma Institute Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Genevieve","family":"Westacott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jamieson Trauma Institute Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carl","family":"Lisec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pecs.2019.03.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irab240"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","first-page":"231","article-title":"Extensive burn injury caused by fundamental electronic cigarette design flaw","volume":"29","author":"Bohr S","year":"2016","journal-title":"Ann.
