Summary. The aim of the study is to analyze the nosological structure and prevalence of burns based on calls to the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) of Ryazan.

Research materials and methods. Research materials are reports of EMS teams. Research methods are an analytical method and a direct observation method. Statistical data processing was performed using Microsoft Excel 2007 software packages with the “Data Analysis” add-on.

Research results and their analysis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to other study periods, significantly lower rates of appeals to the EMS of patients with burns were noted. A change in the structure of burn injuries was established, characterized by an increase in the number of chemical and a decrease in the number of thermal burns. The timeliness and adequacy of emergency medical care for patients with burns is confirmed by their low mortality in the prehospital period.

Keywords: chemical burns, emergency medical teams, patients with burn injury, Ryazan, thermal burns
