Study Notes
Causes of Burns
- Frostbite is NOT a cause of burns
- Electrical discharge, chemical exposure, and thermal energy can cause burns
Types of Burns
- Burns resulting in coagulation necrosis of tissue are full-thickness burns
- Electrical discharge injuries are determined by the voltage and current
- Electrical discharge injuries can cause electroporation, disrupting membrane potential
Chemical Burns
- Disruption of cellular membranes in chemical injuries is caused by pH and osmolar changes
Thermal Burns
- Thermal burns are related to contact temperature and duration
- Thermal burns can cause scalds and sunburns
Radiation Exposure
- Merkel Cell Carcinoma is related to UV radiation exposure, which can cause sunburn
