Understanding Burn Injuries
Burn injuries can vary in severity and often require prolonged medical treatment, including skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, and rehabilitation therapy. The classification of burns includes:
✔ First-degree burns – Affect only the outer skin layer, causing redness and minor pain. ✔ Second-degree burns – Damage deeper layers of skin, leading to severe pain, swelling, and blistering. ✔ Third-degree burns – Extend through all skin layers, often damaging nerves and causing permanent scarring. ✔ Fourth-degree burns – The most severe, affecting muscles, bones, and nerves, often requiring amputation.
Common Causes of Burn Injuries
✔ Workplace Accidents – Industrial fires, chemical spills, and electrical malfunctions. ✔ Defective Products – Exploding batteries, overheated appliances, or faulty wiring. ✔ Auto Accidents – Vehicle fires caused by fuel leaks or explosions. ✔ Scalding from Hot Liquids – Poor temperature control in nursing homes, restaurants, or hotels. ✔ Building Fires – Poorly maintained properties with inadequate fire safety measures.
