Q

The Rule of 9
-Divides the body into areas of 9%
-More practical in the emergent triage of a patient with an acute burn injury

-

113
Q

-Tool divides the body into much smaller areas and gives you sizes that are associated with differently aged patients

117
Q

Leading cause of mortality of burns

A

Infections (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus)

118
Q

Pulmonary complications

A

-Suspected in patients burned in a close space
-Inhalation injury
-Primary complications include carbon monoxide poisoning, tracheal damage, upper airway obstruction, pulmonary edema, pneumonia
-Damage to the lungs = lethal

119
Q

Metabolic complications

A

-Thermal injuries cause a great metabolic and catabolic change to the body
-Rapid decrease in body weight and decrease in energy stores that are vital to the healing process

120
Q

Cardiovascular complications

A

-Severe burns where there are hemodynamic changes from the loss/shifting of fluids
-15% decrease in cardiac output

121
Q

Heterotrophic Ossification

A

->20% TBSA
-Occurs in areas of full thickness burns or sites that remain unhealed for a prolonged period of time
-Immobilization, microtrauma, high protein intake, sepsis
-Elbow (most common), hips, shoulders

122
Q

Neuropathy

A

-Compression bandages applied to tight, poorly fitted splints, inappropriate positioning
-Brachial plexus, ulnar, common peroneal

124
Q

Pathologic Scar

A

-Deep partial thickness burns allowed to heal
-Full thickness burns that have been skin grafted
-Hypertrophy, contracture, or both

125
Q

Epithelial healing - If there are viable cells lining the skin appendages

Contact inhibition

A

Epidermal healing

126

Q

Three phases of Dermal Healing

A

Inflammatory, Proliferative, Maturation

129
Q

A. Inflammatory
B. Proliferative
C. Maturation

  1. > Collagen breakdown (Hypertrophic scarring)
  2. Ratio of collagen breakdown to production determines the type of scar that forms
  3. Characterized by redness, edema, warmth, pain,and decreased ROM
  4. Fibroblast formation
A
  1. C
  2. C
  3. A
  4. B
130
Q

A. Inflammatory
B. Proliferative
C. Maturation

  1. Wound Contraction
  2. = or slightly > than collagen breakdown (Pale, flat and pliable scar)
  3. Re-epithelialization is occurring at the surface of the wound, while deep within the wound, fibroblasts are migrating and proliferating
  4. 3-5 days

131
Q

A. Keloid Scars
B. Contracture scar
C. Hypertrophic

  1. Are characterized by extremely tight skin that can restrict your ability to move
  2. Excessive collagen deposits appear raised, but not to the degree observed with keloids
  3. Can appear as a firm, rubbery lesion or shiny fiber nodules
