Burns and Sunburns

What is a burn? burn = damage to skin or other body parts caused by extreme heat, flame, contact with heated objects, or chemicals categorized as 1 st, 2 nd, or 3 rd degree treatment depends on depth, area, and location of burn additional factors i.e. materials burned into or onto skin

Degrees of Severity 1 st degree superficial burn epidermis intact and functioning properly 2 nd degree partial-thickness burns damaged extends into dermis; most painful blisters w/o epidermis, victims begin to lose fluids, heat, and the ability to block infection 3 rd degree full-thickness burn both dermis and epidermis destroyed nerve endings destroyed; NO feeling of pain lose fluid, heat, and ability to block infection

Rule of Nines body surface area varies with height and weight assessment tool used to determine extent of body surface area burned only works with adults body divided into 11 regions each region accounts for 9% of skin surface area  99% remaining 1% accounts for the groin

Rule of Nines (cont.) 11 regions head right arm left arm chest abdomen upper back lower back right thigh left thigh right leg (below the knee) left leg (below the knee)

What is a sunburn? sunburn = a burn to the skin caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation too much sun sun gives off UVA and UVB rays both are damaging to the skin symptoms redness and irritation blistering over exposure can lead to shock (vital organs do not function properly) and even death (sun poisoning)
