First and second degree burns cause inflammation at the burn site caused by the body shifting intravascular fluid to the effected tissue. Encouraging fluid intake can help replace this lost vascular volume.
In third degree burns where the integrity of the skin is significantly compromised, the body can lose large volumes of fluid and intravenous fluid administration is often required to compensate for the loss.
