Basic Assessment and Management of the Burns
In this webinar, Dr. Zeshaan Maan discusses the basic approach to manage a patient with burns.
He discusses the basic structure of the skin, the largest organ in the human body.
Skin consists of an epidermal layer and a dermal layer. It also contains structures like hair follicles, sweat, and sebaceous glands. These structures reside in the deepest part of the dermis along with the blood vessels and the nerve endings. These are part of the invaginations of the epidermis in the dermis. Proliferating epithelium and the keratinocytes are present here as well. These cells, in turn, are essential to resurface the injured areas of the skin.
Skin provides a barrier function to help protect the body from the pathogens outside. It also prevents the loss of fluids from the internal environment of the body.
After discussing the normal structures and functions of the skin, Dr. Maan discusses the pathophysiology of the burns and various zones that form in burn injuries.
He discusses zones of:
Following the pathophysiology, he discusses the method to measure the total body surface area of the burn.
Cardiovascular system instability, fluid loss, vasoconstriction, and myocardial contractility reduction due to the tumor necrosis factor alpha is discussed.
Respiratory changes, for example, adult respiratory distress syndrome and metabolic changes like increased metabolic rate and splanchnic hypoperfusion are discussed.
Following this discussion, the classification of the burns is presented.
Burns are classified as:
A discussion of the possible outcome, healing process, and the scar formation in various classes are discussed.
A rigorous discussion of the calculation of the percent total body surface area (TBSA) burnt is presented. Palmer method and the rules of 9 method are discussed.
Classification of burns based on the causative agent is discussed next. Following important types are presented:
