What is the first second and third degree burn?
First degree is a a thin burn like when you barely touch your finger on a straightener or curling iron. Second degree is a little more serious and you get that when you burn your hand or something on a flame. And third degree are bad burns that you can get all over and you bleed and you have burns all over... my uncle lost his arm in a third degree burn when he was around my age (13) by accidentally touching a low power line that was by the pool.
Why should you give fluids to a burn patient?
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.
You are evaluating a victim of an IED explosion The victims skin around the burn is charred and the muscle tissue is visible in the center of the wound What type of burn will you be treating?
The type of burn you're referring to is a 3rd degree burn, the worst kind. Skin is burnt and charred and needs to be replaced, and the flesh is burned down to muscle tissue.(This can also be referred to as a fourth-degree or "full thickness" burn.)First Degree burns are usually red skin with some blisters, while 2nd Degree burns are more serious, resulting in burning of the outer skin layer and some subsequent skin layers, but the skin isn't charred and can grow back without a graft.---This could be a close range gunshot wound. The lacerated muscle mass at the center surrounded by the charring area (perhaps also containing smoke powder) points towards a gunshot injury. Burn wise, this is obviously a thermal burn.
Does it hurt baby if you burn your tummy while pregnant?
No. The skin on your stomach being burned does not go deep enough to hurt the baby in the womb, especially with a first-degree burn. Indirectly however, if the burn is bad enough, a lot of fluid will be lost from the affected area and the volume of circulation blood is decreased because the fluid in the blood is used to replace what was lost. Protein loss also occurs and tissue repair is demanding enough to require supplemental nutrients; infection also becomes a concern. It is imperative make up what is lost to avoid death and keep the baby healthy in certain cases. Whatever the mother is lacking, the baby is lacking as well. A mild (first-degree) burn though does not have to be treated to these extremes.

Why are proteins low after a burn?
Massive bleeding and severe burns can cause low blood protein due to overwhelming protein losses. With bleeding, the proteins are lost along with blood. In the case of massive burns, protein-rich fluid leaks from the open burn wounds. Immense amounts of fluid and protein that can be lost through burns. In a research article published in the journal "Burns," Dr. M. Lehnhardt and colleagues reported the total amount of blood proteins in the circulation is lost through fluid leakage in roughly the first 24 hours after sustaining second degree burns involving 20 percent of the body surface area.

How do you cure a 2nd degree burn?
First Aid for Second-Degree Burns What are second-degree burns? Second-degree burns are more serious than first-degree burns because a deeper layer of skin is burned. They can more easily become infected. Also, if the burn affects more than 10% of your skin, you may go into shock because large quantities of fluid are lost from the burned area. All second-degree burns greater than 2 to 3 inches in diameter should be treated by a medical professional. Smaller burns can usually be treated at home. What causes second-degree burns? Second-degree burns are usually caused by: * deep sunburn * exposure to flames * contact with hot liquids * burning gasoline or kerosene * contact with chemicals. What are the symptoms of second-degree burns? The skin is bright red and blotchy and has blisters. It usually looks wet because of the loss of fluid through the damaged skin. Second-degree burns are often very painful. What is the treatment? The goals of treatment for second-degree burns are easing the pain and preventing infection. For second-degree heat burns without open blisters, follow these steps: * Remove jewelry or tight clothing from the burned area before it begins to swell. * Flush the burn with cool running water or apply cold- water compresses (a wet towel or handkerchief) until the pain lessens. Do not use ice or ice water, which can cause more damage to the burned area. * Try not to break the blisters. If the blisters break, the exposed skin can become infected. * Cover the burn with a clean (sterile, if possible), dry, nonfluffy bandage such as a gauze pad. Do not put tape on the burn. * Do not put ointments, grease, petroleum jelly, butter, or home remedies on the burn. These substances can hold the heat in, making the burn worse. * Keep burned arms or legs raised to reduce swelling. * Get medical help for second-degree burns greater than 2 to 3 inches in diameter or for burns on the hands, face, penis, buttocks, or vaginal area. For second-degree heat burns with open blisters, follow these steps: * Do not remove clothing if it is stuck to the burn. * Do not run water over the burn or use water on the bandage because it increases the risk of shock. * Cover the burn with a clean (sterile, if possible), dry, nonfluffy bandage, such as a gauze pad. Do not put tape on the burn. For extensive second-degree burns that are more than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, see your doctor. * You will need extra fluids to replace the large quantities of fluids your body loses through the burned area. Your doctor may give you fluids intravenously (through a tube into your vein). * Your doctor will prescribe antibiotics because the burned skin can no longer protect your body from infection by airborne bacteria. * Your doctor will either lightly bandage the burned area with an antibacterial dressing or leave it unbandaged. * Your doctor will prescribe medicine to kill the pain. * Your doctor may recommend a skin graft to lessen scarring. * Your doctor may give you a tetanus booster. For chemical burns, follow these steps: * Flush liquid chemicals from your skin thoroughly with running water for 15 to 30 minutes. * Remove any clothing and jewelry on which the chemical has spilled. * Brush dry chemicals off the skin if large amounts of water are not available. Small amounts of water will activate some chemicals. Be sure to keep the chemicals away from your eyes. * Cover the burn with a dry, loose bandage. How do I take care of a burn? After you have cleaned and bandaged the burn, leave it alone for at least 24 hours to allow the healing process to begin. Preventing infection in the exposed skin is an important part of the treatment for second-degree burns. If you have been told to change your bandages, follow these procedures to help prevent infection: * Wash your hands carefully with soap and water. * Place the fresh bandage on a clean towel. * Take off the old bandage gently. Soak it off if it sticks to the burn. * Wash the burned area gently. * Check for any changes or worsening of the burned area, such as pus, swelling, or increased redness. * Apply a thin layer of antibiotic cream to the burn. * Cover with the clean bandage. How long will it take a second-degree burn to heal? Usually, second-degree burns heal in 10 days to 2 weeks. There may be few or no scars if the burn was not too extensive and if infection is prevented. When should I call a doctor? See your doctor immediately if you have any of the following: * fever * puslike drainage from the burned area * excessive swelling of the burned area * increased redness of the skin * numbness or coolness of the skin beyond the burned area on arms and legs * a blister filled with greenish or brownish fluid or one that becomes hot again or turns red * a burn that doesn't heal in 10 days to 2 weeks.
