Burnt: a lesion xl'efecte increased temperature

• Thermal: xcontacte with a heat source
  • chemical x contact a chemical agent, acid or base.
  • Electrical: 1 x touch with electrical source.

Severe burns the skin ceases to fulfill its protective function, the affected area loses body fluids

Assessment of burns:

• Extension: body surface area affected, and if the burn is extensive loss of fluid can produce a significant decrease in blood volume (hypovolemic shock.) Location and extent: determining the complications affecting the area of the body determines the severity of injury.
  • Depth: determines the evolution (layers involved)
  • First grade: + surface layer of skin (epidermis)
  • Second degree: epidermis and all or part of the dermis
  • Receiving NO BOTTLES (protects the burn from infection, is expressed
  • Proteins. Function inside the bottles provide abundant moisture and protein repair the skin, as it fulfills its function was dry skin breaks expelling the liquid burns on his arms and legs trying to raise them, protect the burn with gauze or sterile bandage.
  • Third grade: affect all layers of skin and subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis). General objectives: preventing the spread of injury, relieve pain, prevent infection. Apply water at all burns except flammable liquids. Water cleaning desinflama, low temperature relieves pain.

Severe burns: Call 112 / breathing prepare BLS / stretch the legs a little victim + higher than the head, burned area comes into contact with the ground / cold water, remove clothing / dressings sterile area covered

CRE THE AIR: call 112

CHEMICAL BURNS: call 112

Electrical burns: damage x calorific effect of electricity. The muscle presents muscle contractions. Lo first: disconnect the victim.

OF RULE 9: To assess the extent applicable "rule of 9" (division of the body surface in different areas representing 9%) in infants these values ​​vary as they have any larger and the body more small (the proportion varies). If severe burn over 50%.

+ Major complications:

• SHOCK: hypovolemic: salt imbalance. Neurogenic: pain. Septic: infection
• Superinfections: C omplicacions lung. Omplicacions C gastrointestinal. Etraccions R of scars
