A 27-year-old male was brought to the emergency room via ambulance after sustaining severe chemical burns (corrosive burns) to his face, anterior neck, and both forearms while working at an industrial chemical factory. Corrosive acid was accidentally spilled and splashed onto the patient. His hands were protected by gloves and were not affected. A detailed history and examination revealed third-degree burns on his face and both forearms, and second-degree burns on his neck. Patient was wrapped in sterile gauze (this would be included in the ED visit code) and immediately transferred by helicopter to the nearest Burn Unit.
