(KCTV) - Kansas City hospitals are still seeing firework injuries after the 4th.The University of Kansas Hospital’s Burnett Burn Center, along with its Olathe, Liberty and Great Bend campuses, said they have seen 33 patients as of 3 p.m. July 5.The hospital said the ages range from 4 to 62, with 28 of those being male and four female. Ten were admitted to the hospital.Fingers, hands, eyes, chests and legs were the most common injury locations, and the most common types of fireworks to cause those injuries are roman candles, artillery shells, and mortars, the hospital said.The Burnett Burn Center said they prepared for an expected increase in patients by using a “Fast Track” process designed to speed up care for fireworks injuries.With Fast Track, a burn center provider responds directly to the emergency department to evaluate injuries immediately, according to the hospital. Hospital leaders say the goal is to help patients get treated and, when possible, discharged more quickly—as long as the injury doesn’t require admission.</div></body>
