The causes of burns can be divided into six categories:
When the human body is exposed to intense heat, this heat also penetrates the body tissue. The human body consists of 70 - 90 % water, which has the ability to circulate heat. The extreme heat is trapped in the tissue.
One of the most important functions of the human skin is to prevent heat loss. The body will try to get rid of the heat the same way it entered - back through the skin and in parallel via the bloodstream. The heat that the body does not release immediately begins to destroy the surrounding tissue.
The Rule of Nines is a clinical rule of thumb for the orientating assessment of the severity of burns. For an initial assessment of the measurement of the body surface area, the following classification helps:
A burn of the hand corresponds to a burn of 1 % of the total skin area. The burn of one arm corresponds to approx. 9 hands, i.e. 9 %.
What are the different degrees of burns?A distinction is made between first, second and third degree burns. First-degree burns usually have reddened skin or swelling. Second-degree burns are characterised by skin damage that affects the dermis. In addition to the first two layers of skin, third-degree burns also damage underlying layers of skin.
How are burns treated correctly?The basic measures for treating burns are 1. Eliminating the cause of the burn 2. Cooling the burn (direct contact of the skin with ice should be avoided) 3. Clean wound care 4. Maintaining the victim's body heat.
Can a burn be cooled with water?If the burn is cooled with cold water, there is a risk that the affected area or even the injured person will cool down, especially in the case of extensive burns. The core temperature of the affected person decreases as a result of the cooling. The body reacts with muscle tremors to produce heat.
What is the "Rule of Nine"?The Rule of Nine is a clinical rule of thumb for assessing the severity of burns. For example, a burn to the hand corresponds to a burn of 1% of the total skin area. The burn of an arm corresponds to approx. 9 hands, i.e. 9 %.
