Patient had 14 hour operating room time earlier this month.Approximately 2 days later, the patient noted to have reddened upper back, which then evolved several rows of round circles in a linear pattern across the back.It appeared to have been caused by some type of pad the patient was lying on in operating room.Mono bi-polar grounding pad also used on back.The area was inspected by the md and wound care rn and it was determined that this was a combination of first degree and second degree burn in the same pattern as the therm-lite blanket.
