    BURN

    Types, management, complications and rehabilitation


    of burn
    What is burn?

    Definition:an injury that damages the skin or other


    tissues due to exposure to heat, chemicals,
    electricity, sunlight, or radiation.
    Severity:Range from mild to life threatening
    depending on severity and depth.
    Classification of burn
    Overview:burn can be classified into 4 main
    categories based on severity.
    First degree
    burn(superficial burns)
    affect only the epidermis, causing redness and
    discomfort.
    rarely serious and heal by themselves within days.
    can occur as a result of exposure to the sun (sunburn)
    or exposure to hot liquids.
    Symptoms: Redness, minor swelling, pain, and dryness.
    No blisters.
    Second degree burn(partial
    thickness burns)
    affect both the epidermis and portions of the dermis.
    These types of burns cause blistering.
    may heal within 2-3 weeks; deep partial-thickness burns
    may take longer and can result in scarring.
    can result from exposure to hot or scalding fluids or from
    flash and flame injuries
    Third degree burns
    affect all layers of the skin.
    These burns are severe and always require skin grafting
    as they result in the destruction of skin cells.
    These burns may result from prolonged exposure to
    flame, chemicals, electricity, scalding liquids or steam.
    Fourth degree burns
    affect all layers of the skin and also structures below the
    skin, such as tendons, bone, ligaments and muscles.
    burns are not painful, owing to destruction of nerve
    endings.
    These burns always require surgery or grafting to close
    the wounds.
    often result in permanent disability and can be life-
    threatening.
    4th 4th degree burn
    Management of burn
    First degree burn:Cool the burn with running cool
    (not cold) water for 10-15 minutes,Apply soothing
    lotion to moisturize the skin and pain relievers
    Second degree burn: Cool the burn under running
    water,cover them with a sterile and keep clean and
    dry
    Third and fourth degree burn:Call emergency
    services,Do not immerse in water, cover with clean
    cloth, monitor for shock
    Complication of burn
    • Infection: susceptibility of bacterial infection
    • Scarring:hypertrophic scars or keloids
    • Contractures:loss of mobility in joints or functional
    areas
    • Hypothermia:impair the body's ability to regulate
    temperature due to loss of skin
    • Fluid Loss:dehydration and electrolyte imbalances
    Rehabilitation After Burns
    Physical Therapy
    Occupational Therapy
    Psychological Support
    Conclusion
    Summary: understanding burns, their management,
    complication and rehabilitation is crucial for effective
    treatment and recovery.
