Objectives
• Enumerate and discuss the classification of burns Opthalmic complications like CATARACT formation is
• Discuss burn depth, burn zones and estimation of common
burn size *Upon admission, should be referred to ophthalmologist,
• Initial evaluation of burn injury neurologist or basal function assessment.
• Management of burn patient, resuscitation,
ventilatory support, wound care, nutritional CHEMICAL BURNS- less common but could cause
severe burns.

CLASSIFICATION OF BURNS o by irrigating the involved
part of the body by at least

water. (can’t be done in all
types, except if secondary

- most common cause of hospital admission -capillary pressure test is NORMAL
-assoc. with inhalation injury because it is common in
structural fire like in building houses. b.) Deep partial thickness
A B -involves the epidermis and the deeper layer of
the dermis (reticular layer)
-involves extensive blister formation, removing it
would expose the reddish color dermis
-punctuate hemorrhages due to exposure or
extravasation of blood from the BV
-or it can be pale due to destruction of BV
-it is less painful because of the destruction of the
nerve
-hallmark is when you do capillary pressure test, it
is DELAYED

Second degree burn ( PARTIAL THICKNESS)
o involves the epidermis and dermis
o hallmark is presence of blister formation

Airway management
o Primary Survey- to identify life threatening injuries
(ABCDE)
o Inhalational injury could compromise and cause
swelling in the airway
o Aside from asking hey hey are you okay, you assess
the airway by inspection, physical signs like oral
burns or at the nasal hair that warrants oral
examination at the laryngeal, or pharyngeal area.
o But if the findings are normal, patient may still
need intubation specially if symptoms like
hoarseness, coarse voice, dyspnea and stridor it
warrants immediate endotracheal intubation
o For patients with multiple injuries, do endotracheal
intubation which is the most common method to
secure airway. Other injuries
o Specially inhalational injuries.
o X RAY in emergency rooms should be
done.
o Patient may also be associated with
jumping of fold during burns but in non-
emergent, skeletal X RAY is not warranted
because it could delay the resuscitation,
you could perform it later on.
CO and cyanide poisoning

tasteless, and colourless. “Silent Killer”

mandibular area endotracheal intubation is not o Less oxygen in the blood may cause cyanosis and
possible, instead perform nasotracheal intubation. demise of the patient.
Immediate cricothyroidotomy, tracheostomy may
delay the securing of airway.
Fluid Resuscitation
o All burn patient may not need IV fluid. It depends
on the percentage of burn area
o 15% or less may not need IV fluid resuscitation
because you may correct through oral intake.
o For pediatric,15% total body surface area of
burns,they need IV fluid resuscitation.
o 40 % total body surface are of burns will need
double line with large bore needle.

MANAGEMET OF BURNS
CONTINOUS RESUSCITATION
Concept
o You have to admit the patient if the
patient is admissible. Hydrate the patient
continuously because of the third space
loss of the plasma or exudate into the
interstitium space.
Calculation of Fluid
8400 ml ÷ 2 = 4200 ml
Parameters
o Overhydration is accosiated with complications.
o Hydration depends on:
Time Smoke inhalation = 35%
Ex. Time of injury- px sustained burns at 6 am , arrived at Smoke inhalation + pneumonia = mortality 60%
the ER at 9 am. Inhalational injury + pneumonia + ARDS = 66%
All of them + >60% TBSA + II + ARDS = 100
3pm = 8 hrs after 6 am but patient arrived at 9 am so:
MAP= 60 mmHg
Urine Output
Adult: 30 cc/hr
Pediatric: 1-1.5 cc/kg/hr
Colloids
o Can be used instead of Lactated Ringers solution
after first 24 hrs.
o High molecular weight fluids
o It will stay in the intravascular, attract fluids and
increase systemic blood pressure. Smoke inhalation- can cause injury in 2 ways
o Based on a study, it will not increase the survival o Direct inhalation injury in the upper airway
rate of the patient instead it will increase the causes swelling

o Still, Lactated Ringers solution is the most why patient need emergency intubation to
commonly used. secure the airway
Vitamin C o Inhalation of combusted materials that cause

o Increases wound healing. cause inflammation then inflammatory
o High dose would decrease IV fluid requirements. mediators could cause edema.
Plasmapheresis

Edema fluid is a risk factor for the dev’t of
pneumonia.
Eventually could get obstructed causing
poor gas exchange then hypoxemia.
Bronchoscopy
o Carbon deposits in the mucosa
o Bronchorrea
o Edema fluids
o Sloughing of mucosa
o Aspiration is positive for bacteria or dev’t of
pneumonia upon injury
