Abstract
- Although low temperature contact burn doesn't have clear definition, it is used to describe the burn occurred by long time exposure under 50℃ temperature. 4(th) degree burn can be occurred by low temperature contact burn because of low pain, especially in patients who are insensitive to stimulation by various reasons. The under-floor heating system such as Ondol or electronic heating pad is popular in Korea because of the cultural influence. Although the upper limit surface temperature of electronic heating pad is 50℃, severe burn injury can happen by long time exposure. So we report a low temperature contact burn case of 4(th) degree involving gluteus maximus muscle of the buttock caused by electric heating pad, which led to Rhabdomyolysis.
