Study Notes

Electrical Discharge Injury

Severity of electrical discharge injury is determined by the voltage, current, and duration of the electrical shock.

Burn Injuries

Burns related to heat are mainly caused by conduction, convection, and radiation.

Chemical Burns

Severity of injury caused by chemicals is determined by the concentration, duration of exposure, and type of chemical agent.

Types of Burns

Coagulation necrosis of tissue results in a full-thickness burn.

Burn Management

Healing potential and management of a burn are determined by the depth, size, and location of the burn.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause Merkel Cell Carcinoma.

Friction Burns

Injury in friction burns is caused by the heat generated by friction, leading to tissue damage.

Electric Discharge Injuries

Main cause of burn injuries related to electric discharge is the electrical current, which can cause cardiac arrest and muscle contractions.

Severity of burn injuries from radiation is primarily determined by the dose and duration of radiation exposure.
