The aim of this study was to investigate research trends and issues in burn nursing in Japan.
 ICHUSHI-Web was used to search for studies using the keywords: (1) “burn nursing” and (2) “burn” and “nurses”. Furthermore, PubMed was used to search for studies using the keywords: “burn nursing” and “Japan” or “Japanese”. No restrictions were placed on publication year in the search. After excluding duplicates, we included 606 studies in the analysis.
 We performed high-frequency word and co-occurrence network analyses using text mining to analyze titles. Out of the 71 papers in the Japanese Journal of Burn Injuries, we selected 16 published since 2009 and categorized and organized them according to aim, subject, and methodology.
 We found that the most common journal for publishing between 1954 and 2024 was The Japanese Journal of Nursing Arts, followed by the Japanese Journal of Burn Injuries. The highest-frequency word in the title was “burn” (557) , followed by “nursing” (316) and “patient” (302) . Co-occurrence network analysis resulted in the generation of 10 categories, including［nursing process development and burn care points］ and［nursing assistance for severe burn patients］. The aims of studies published in the Japanese Journal of Burn Injuries were categorized into six groups, including［clarifying patient experiences］,［elucidating nurse perceptions］, and［examining the state of education］. The most common subject group was patients (10 papers) . The most common methodology was qualitative research.
 We identified a focus on nursing assistance, safety control, and procedures/management as trends in burn nursing research. Further studies are needed to investigate patient experiences and family nursing in the long term as well as develop education systems.

 An 80-year-old female sustained a scald burn covering 25% of her Total Body Surface Area, with a Burn Index of 20, affecting the anterior chest, right side of the abdomen and back, right upper extremity, and right lower leg. On the 5th day, we performed debridement and skin grafting. On the 9th day, analgesics were changed to oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. A proton pump inhibitor was administered to prevent peptic ulcer; however, on the 11th day, it was discontinued due to good oral intake. On the 38th day, the patient suddenly complained of abdominal pain. CT of the abdomen showed ascites collection and free air. As there was no burn wound on the mid-section of the abdomen and the patient was elderly, we selected laparotomy. A perforation was made in the anterior wall of the duodenal bulb. A simple suture repair with a greater omentum patch was performed, and a drain was inserted into the perforation site through a gap between the burn wounds on the right side of the abdomen. The patient had a good postoperative course and was transferred to the hospital on the 82nd day.

 Patients with extensive burns are at a high risk of hypothermia due to heat loss from burn wounds. Intraoperative hypothermia is a critical factor associated with increased mortality and postoperative complications. Herein, we report the use of intravascular temperature management for the treatment of a patient with a 95% total body surface area burn to maintain body temperature during surgery. During the initial two rounds of surgery using traditional methods, significant body temperature drops were observed. However, during the third and fourth rounds of surgery using intravascular temperature management, temperature fluctuations were maintained to within 1.0℃of the target, which enabled prolonged surgical duration. To mitigate the risk of blood clot formation, the duration of catheter placement was limited to two days. This case demonstrates that preoperative warming and intravascular temperature management can prevent intraoperative hypothermia. These findings suggest that intravascular temperature management is an effective strategy for maintaining body temperature in patients with extensive burns, potentially improving surgical outcomes and reducing complications.

 Introduction: We investigated the initial response and outcome of the Fukuchiyama Fireworks Festival stall explosion that occurred at 19:28 on August 15, 2013.
 Methods: A written request was submitted to the Fukuchiyama, Ayabe, Toyooka, Tamba, Nantan, and Kyoto fire departments, which were involved in the transport, as well as to the medical institutions that received the patients.
 Results: Responses were received from all fire departments and 12 medical institutions. All 60 injured and sick patients were transported to three nearby hospitals. Hospital A, the nearest emergency center, admitted 45 patients and transferred 15 patients to other institutions in Kyoto and other prefectures on the same day. Since the following day, a total of 27 related transfers have been carried out. Twenty-eight patients sustained serious injuries and three died.
 Conclusion: This was a rare case in which a large number of burn patients in a rural area were transported to the nearest emergency center and then dispersed over a wide area. It is essential for facilities receiving intensive transports to allocate adequate human and medical resources and establish wide-area collaborations.
