slide helps a medical student and physician understand the basics of burns( definition, types, causes, assessment, stages, zones, complications and basic principles of management).
The document discusses anatomy and physiology of the skin, types of burns, burn classifications, burn depth assessment, burn management, and burn complications. It describes the three layers of skin - epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis - and their functions. It classifies burns as superficial, partial thickness, or full thickness depending on the depth of tissue damage. Burn management includes wound care, fluid resuscitation, antibiotics, surgery, and physiotherapy. Complications can be immediate, early, or late and include shock, infection, organ failure, contractures, and cancer.
Thermal injury is caused by temperatures exceeding tissue damage thresholds. Burns are classified by depth and cause. Superficial burns involve the epidermis while deep second degree burns involve the dermis. Third degree burns destroy the entire dermis. Systemic effects include hypovolemic shock, cardiac dysfunction, and increased infection risk. Burn assessment tools include the Rule of Nines and Lund-Browder chart. Treatment involves fluid resuscitation, wound care, infection prevention and rehabilitation to address complications like contractures.
Thermal injuries to the body can occur from various heat sources and cause burns or scalds of different depths. Scalds are caused by moist heat and result in blistering while burns are caused by dry heat and cause tissue desiccation and necrosis. The degree of burn is classified based on depth of tissue injury. Proper assessment of burn size, depth, and inhalation injury is important. Major burns can lead to hypovolemic shock, infection, organ dysfunction and death if not managed promptly with fluid resuscitation, wound care, infection control and surgery. Outcomes depend on percentage of body surface area burned, depth of burn and presence of inhalational injury.
This document discusses burn injuries, including:
1) It describes the different types of burns - thermal, chemical, electrical, radiation, and cold injuries. Thermal burns are further divided into flame, scald, and contact burns.
2) It explains the pathophysiology of burns, including the zones of injury and the systemic inflammatory response. Management of burns is also covered, focusing on airway control, fluid resuscitation, wound care, and infection prevention.
3) The severity of burns is classified based on depth and total body surface area affected. Deep partial thickness and full thickness burns require specialized wound care and skin grafting.
This document provides a classification and overview of burn injuries. It discusses:
1. The classification of burns based on etiology including thermal, electrical, chemical, radiation, and inhalation injuries.

This document provides information on burns, including definitions, causes, pathophysiology, assessment, and management. Some key points:
- Burns are injuries caused by dry heat, flames, scalds from hot liquids, chemicals, or electricity. They can range from superficial to full thickness burns.
- The pathophysiology involves fluid shifts from blood vessels into burned tissue, causing shock. This leads to cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, metabolic, and immune system changes.
- Burn severity is determined by depth, extent, location, and patient factors. The rule of nines and Lund & Browder charts are used to estimate burn size.
- Initial management involves stopping the burning, providing oxygen, elevating
Burn injuries cause significant damage and health issues globally. They are the fourth most common type of trauma worldwide, with nearly 200,000 deaths annually. Most burns occur in low to middle income countries that lack infrastructure to treat them. Burns damage skin tissue through heat, chemicals, electricity or other sources. They are classified based on the depth of tissue destruction. Proper assessment of burn severity and depth is important for treatment. Burn injuries can cause shock, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, and long-term metabolic changes like increased energy expenditure if not properly managed.

3. Burns are classified by depth and extent of the affected body surface area. Depth is classified as superficial, partial-thickness, or full-thickness. Extent is classified using methods like the Rule of Nines or Lund and Browder chart.
Cryosurgery Dr Manasa Shettisara JanneyManasa Janney
Cryosurgery is a safe, inexpensive, and simple procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy diseased tissue without the need for anesthesia. It has several advantages including short preparation time, sutureless healing, and good cosmetic results. Liquid nitrogen is commonly used as the cryogen to rapidly freeze tissue through mechanisms like intracellular ice formation and vascular damage, resulting in ischemic necrosis. Factors like freezing rate and thaw time influence tissue destruction. Cryosurgery is used to treat various skin conditions like warts, actinic keratosis, and basal cell carcinoma. Potential complications include pain, blistering, wound infection, and pigmentary changes.

Parkinson's disease is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disease. It typically has an onset around age 60 and is more common in men than women. Risk factors include certain environmental exposures as well as genetic factors. The disease is characterized by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta and formation of intraneuronal inclusions called Lewy bodies. This leads to decreased dopamine levels in the striatum and impaired function of the basal ganglia, resulting in the motor symptoms of Parkinson's such as tremors and impaired movement.

4. DEFINITION:
• Type of coagulative or liquifactive destruction of the
surface layers of the body.
• It is the response of the skin, mucous membrane and
subcutaneous tissue to the thermal and few non
thermal injuries.
5. CAUSES:
• THERMAL CAUSES
• Scald- seconadry to spillage of hot liquids
• Flames- super heated oxidized air
• contact- due to hot and cold solid
• Flash burns- due to hot gases and combustible liquids
• NON THERMAL CAUSES
• Chemical- labs or chemical industries
• electrical
• cold injury-frost/frost bite
• ionizing radiation
• sun burns
6. • BURNS DUE TO CHEMICALS:
• Can be acid or alkaline burn
• question: which is more dangerous? acid or alkaline
• ans: Alkaline
examples of acid: hydrochloric
acid(HCL), sulphuric acid(H2SO4)
examples of alkaline: potassium
hydroxide(KOH), sodium
hydroxide(NAOH)
pathophysiology: acid burns causes
coagulative necrosis which protects
the underlying tissues from acid
exposure
pathophysiology: alkaline burns
cause liquifactive necrosis that
causes saponification of tissues and
hence leads to alkaline exposure
which bleach the tissue.
7. • ELECTRICAL BURNS:
• Can be: low voltage(120v-240v) or high voltage(>1000V)
• Note: parts in which electricity can pass through with low
resistance: blood vessels, subcutaneous tissue, nerves.
• can cause:
• Renal failure: in muscles, electrical burns cause myonecrosis
which leads to release of myoglobin- causes damage to the
kidney via excretion and later on, will cause acute tubular
necrosis.
• Arrythmias and cardiac arrest.
8. CLASSIFICATION:
• FIRST DEGREE/SUPERFICIAL BURNS
• Injury to epidermis only
• epithelial barrier is intact
• heals rapidly by re-epithelialization with no scars in 5-7 days.
• pin prick test is positive(severe pain to prick)
• presentation: redness, pain, no blisters and no scarring
• Complication: increased risk of skin cancer
• SECOND DEGREE/PARTIAL THICKNESS BURNS
• Divided into: superficial partial thickness and deep partial thickness
SUPERFICIAL PARTIAL THICKNESS DEEP PARTIAL THICKNESS
Above level of papillary dermis
presentation: red, blanches to touch, blistering, moist
Involves reticular dermis
presentation: no blistering, pale, mottled appearance,
maybe painful or insensate(depending on depth)
resolves in 1 to 2 weeks(14 days) by epithelialization resolves in 3 to 5 weeks(35 days) by epithelialization and
contracture
minimal or permenant scars but leaves discoloration scar formation
9. THIRD DEGREE/FULL THICKNESSS BURNS
• Ascended the subcutaneous space(both epidermis and dermis
are burnt)
• coagulation of subcutaneous tissue
• presentation: white leathery eschar, painless, no blistering, look
dull or dark, white or cherry red
• no blanching
• Complication: scarring, contracture and amputation
• FOURTH DEGREE
• Deep till the bones
• Complication: Amputation, functional impairment, gangrene and
death.

13. ZONES OF BURNS
• ZONE OF COAGULATION:
• Once a cold/hot surface is in contact with the body- cells undergo coagulative necrosis
and disruption.
• Necrotic area where tissue will not recover
• ZONE OF STASIS:
• Surrounds zone of coagulation
• increased percentage of thromboxane A2 resulting in vasicinstriction
• they is leakage and disruption of blood vessels leading to decreased tissue perfusion.
• tissue can recover or become necrotic
• ZONE OF HYPEREMIA:
• They is vasodilation and increased capillary blood flow
• they is recruitment of white blood cells and other infammatory cells to the zone of
coagulation and stasis.
• healing process begins from this viable tissue.
14.
15. ASSESSMENT OF BURNS
• BY ESTIMATE%: We use=
• Alfred wallace rule of 9(in Adults)/rule of 7(in children)
16.
17. • RULE OF PALM:
• Palm of patient is approximately 1% total body surface
area(TBSA).
• LUND AND BROWDY CHART: MOST ACCURATE
20. MANAGEMENT
• INITIAL:
• a.) Remove source or victim from the source
• b.) Cool the burn wound with room temperature water(tap water)
for 10-15 mins to help to decrease the depth of the wound.
21. • C.) Resuscitate- A,B,C,D,E and fluids
• A-airways:
• maintain cervical(c-spine)
• intubate if suspected inhalational injury
• WHEN TO INTUBATE?
• partial pressure of:
• oxygen(PaO2)<60mmhg
