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.
Radiation-Related Burns
- 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.
Radiation-Related Injuries
- Severity of burn injuries from radiation is primarily determined by the dose and duration of radiation exposure.
