Definition & Types
 Definition
 A burn is a thermal injury caused by biological, chemical,
electrical and physical agents with local and systemic
effects
 Etiology
 Thermal injury
 Chemical burns
 Cold injury
 Ionising radiation
 Sun burns

Anatomy
Skin layers
08/08/2024 DR KAPAMBWE CHRISPINE D 5
Classification
 Superficial (first degree)
 Partial thickness (second degree)
 1) Superficial partial
 2) Deep partial
 Full thickness (third degree)
08/08/2024 DR KAPAMBWE CHRISPINE D 6
Pathophysiology
 Burns induce local and systemic damage that seriously
alter homeostasis.
 Local
 1. Zone of coagulation
 2. Zone stasis
 3. Zone of hyperemia
 Systemic
 Systemic changes depend on the affected body surface
(usually greater than 10%).
 Present according to the affected system.

MANAGEMENT 1
Burn management is conducted by members of a multidisciplinary burn
team which include medical, surgical, intensive care, nursing,
physiotherapy, occupational therapy, diatetics, social work, psychiatry, ,
speech therapy, .
Serious burn requiring hospitalization
Greater than 15% burns in an adult
Greater than 10% burns in a child
Any burn in the very young, the elderly or the infirm
Any full thickness burn
Burns of special regions: face, hands, feet, perineum
Circumferential burns
Inhalation injury - Associated trauma or significant pre-burn
illness: e.g. diabetes

Management 2
 1) First aid
 Stop the burning process
 Cool the area with tap water

 2)Definitive
 Admit the patient.
 Do ABCDE
 Determine percentage, degree and type of burn
 IV access and early fluid replacement.
 Investigations
 Medication
 Other care

Management cont...
 Fluid replacements
 a) Barclay & Muir formula or Leads formula:
Body wt. x TBSA%/2 = Xmls
 b) Parkland formula:
Body wt x TBSA% x (1-4mls) = X mls
08/08/2024 DR KAPAMBWE CHRISPINE D 14
Parkland formula:
 Body wt x TBSA% x (1-4mls) = X mls
 -1st give half of Xmls in the 1st 8hrs from time of
burns event
 -2nd give next half of Xmls in the next 16hrs
 The fluids used are Crystalloids, N-saline, Ringers
lactate or Hartmanns
 solution
  TBSA>15%: blood transfusion after 24 hours (pediatrics)
  TBSA>20%: blood transfusion (adults)

 Investigations
 Full Blood Count and Differential count.
 Wound swab for Microscopy Culture and
Sensitivity
 Biochemistry
 ESR

Management cont...
 Medications
 Tetanus toxoid 0.5mls IM-single dose
 Topical Antibacterial agents - Silver
Sulphadiazine,Povidone cream or Chloherxidine
cream for those allergic to sulfur containing
medication.
 Antibiotics if burns are infected depending on the
sensivity tests of the centre.
 Haematinics to boost blood levels. 
 Analgesia
 Others care

Complications
 1. Early
 Airway obstruction
 Hypovolaemia
 2. Intermediate
 Wound infection
 Septicemia
 Amputation
 3. Late
 Contractures
 Hypertrophic scar or keloids
