BURN Nomenclature Traditional nomenclature Depth Clinical findings Superficial thickness First-degree Epidermis involvement Erythema minor pain, lack of blisters Partial thickness — superficial Second-degree Superficial (papillary Blisters, clear fluid, and pain Partial thickness — deep Second-degree Deep (reticular) dermis Whiter appearance, with decreased pain. Difficult to distinguish from full thickness Full thickness Third- or fourth-degree Dermis and underlying tissue Hard, leather-like eschar, purple fluid, no sensation (insensate)
I= 1st DEGREE BURN • Involves only the Epidermal layer of the skin. • Skin is red, painful, and tender. • No blister formation. • Usually heals in 7 days. • Leaves no scars. • Require only symptomatic treatment.
II=2ndDEGREE BURN 1- SUPERFICIAL – PARTIAL THICNESS The burn extends to the dermis • The epidermis and superficial (papillary layer) dermis are injured • The deeper layer of the dermis, hair follicles, sweat glands and sebaceous glands are spared • Blistering of the skin • Exposed dermis is red, moist at blister base • Very painful to touch • Good perfusion of dermis with intact capillary refill • Heal in 14 – 21 days • Scaring usually minimal
II=2ndDEGREE BURN 2- DEEP – PARTIAL THICKNESS Extends into the deep reticular layer of the dermis There is damage in the hair follicles, sweat glands, & sebaceous glands Caused by steam, hot liquids, flame Skin may be blistered The burned areas don’t blanch No capillary filling Absent pain sensation Healing takes 3 W – 2 months Scaring is common Surgical debridement & skin grafting may be necessary to obtain maximum function
III=3rd DEGREE BURN Involves the entire skin thickness All epidermal and dermal layers are destroyed Caused by flame, hot oil, steam and contact e’ hot object Skin is charred, pale, painless, leathery Injuries will not heal spontaneously Surgical repair and grafting are necessary Injuries will leave significant scaring

CLASSIFICATIONS OF BURN ACCORDING TO SEVERITY 1= MINOR Partial thickness burn less 15% of BSA in the 10 – 50 – year old age group Partial thickness burn less than 10% BSA in children under 10 and adults more than 50 Full thickness burn of less than 2% BSA in any one with out associated injuries These burn imply out patient treatment
CLASSIFICATIONS OF BURN ACCORDING TO SEVERITY / cont 2= MODERATE Partial thickness burn of 15 – 25 % BSA in 10 – 50 year – old age group Partial thickness burn of 10 – 20 % BSA in children under 10 or adults over 50 Full thickness burn of less than 10% in any one Partial thickness burn of the hands, face, feet, perineum, or circumferential burn of an extremity are excluded
CLASSIFICATIONS OF BURN ACCORDING TO SEVERITY / cont 3= MAJOR Partial thickness burn greater than 25% BSA in the 10 – 50 – year – old age group Partial thickness burn greater than 20% BSA in children younger than 10 and adults over 50 Full thickness burn greater than 10% BSA in any one Burn involving face, feet, hands and perineum Burn complicated by inhalation burn Burn crossing major joints Circumferential burns of an extremity Electrical burns Burn complicated by # or other trauma Burns in infants & elderly

Anion gap calculation and metabolic acidosis Na+ − (Cl- + HCO3−) 8 to 16 mEq/L plasma when not including [K+]
High anion gap metabolic acidosis • Lactic acidosis • Ketoacidosis • Diabetic ketoacidosis • Alcohol abuse • Toxins: • Methanol • Ethylene glycol • Propylene Glycol • Lactic acid • Uremia • Aspirin • Phenformin • Iron • Isoniazid • Cyanide • Renal failure, causes high anion gap acidosis by decreased acid excretion and decreased HCO3− reabsorption. Accumulation of sulfates, phosphates, urate, and hippurate accounts for the high anion gap.
2[Na+] + [Glucose]/18 + [ BUN ]/2.8 Normal human reference range of osmolality in plasma is about 285-295 milli-osmoles per kilogram.

What is ventricular rate ? (correspond to pulse rate) HR ? SLOW NORMAL FAST
NARROW OR WIDE ?? 0.17 sec S T P 0.10 sec
Teaching Moment • When an impulse originates anywhere in the atria or above the ventricles: • SA node • Atrial cells • AV node • Bundle of His and then is conducted normally through the ventricles, the QRS will be narrow (0.08 - 0.12 s).
