Study Notes
Burn Injuries
- A potential consequence of burn injuries is NOT a urinary tract infection.
- One of the main functions of the skin that is disrupted by burns is thermoregulation.
- The primary survey involves assessing the airway, breathing, circulation, and disability (ABCD).
Burn Assessment
- The extent of the injury and the depth of tissue involvement are critical aspects of burn assessment.
- The depth and degree of the burn indicate the severity of the injury.
- The primary purpose of the Rule of Nines or Rule of Wallace is to estimate burn size.
Burn Management
- Fluid resuscitation is important to address capillary leak and intravascular fluid loss.
- The recommended initial therapy for chemical burns is irrigation with water.
- The primary goal of the Secondary Survey is to identify any other potential injuries.
- The expected urine output goal for an adult burn patient per hour is 0.5-1 mL/kg/hr.
Burn Resuscitation
- The primary focus during the resuscitative period is to address capillary leak and intravascular fluid loss.
- The recommended fluid resuscitation rate for adults with burn injuries is 2-4 mL/kg/%TBSA.
- The key criterion for admission to a burn unit during the resuscitative period is the need for specialized care.
Secondary Survey
- The primary purpose of the Secondary Survey is to identify any other potential injuries.
- The purpose of obtaining an AMPLE history is to gather key information about the patient's medical history.
- A key component of the head-to-toe examination approach is to assess the patient's entire body.
Escharotomy
- An escharotomy is indicated when there is compartment syndrome or circulatory compromise.
- An escharotomy is contraindicated when there is no circulatory compromise.
Nutrition
- Adequate nutrition is crucial in burn patients to support wound healing and prevent infection.
Primary Scene Care
- The primary focus during Primary Scene Care is to address the patient's immediate needs.
- The first thing that should be done during Primary Scene Care is to stop the burning process.
