In Orsk, a man received severe burns due to an outstanding candle

Over the weekend, a man with severe burns of I and II degrees was taken to the surgical hospital of the city hospital of Orsk. The fire struck the face, head, shoulder, and upper respiratory tract. The doctors immediately provided emergency assistance and placed the patient in the intensive care unit. His condition was monitored around the clock by resuscitators and traumatologists.

Now the dynamics are positive, the condition of the man is stable, there is no deterioration. He was transferred from intensive care to the trauma and orthopedic department. According to preliminary data, the cause of the emergency was negligence: the man lit a candle and fell asleep without extinguishing it.

This story is a clear example of how one household negligence can turn into serious injuries. The man lit a candle and fell asleep without extinguishing it, and as a result received burns to the face, head, shoulder and upper respiratory tract. The defeat of the respiratory tract is especially dangerous: it can lead to swelling and suffocation, so such patients are always placed in intensive care. The doctors of Orsk worked quickly, and now the man’s condition is stable, he was transferred to a regular department. But the case itself is a reminder that open fire in the house requires constant monitoring. A candle left unattended is not romance, but a risk of fire and severe burns.

Do you think people should be warned more about the dangers of open fire in everyday life, or are these obvious things that everyone should remember for themselves?
