Burn Injury Assessment
- The most accurate and widely used chart to calculate total body surface area affected by a burn injury is the Rule of Nines chart.
Phases of Burn Healing
- The inflammatory phase occurs within 24 hours after the skin is injured and continues for several days or weeks depending on the level of the injury.
- During the proliferation phase, granulation tissue forms, and epithelial cells migrate to cover the wound surface.
- In the maturation or remodeling phase, collagen is deposited, and tissue strength increases, resulting in scar tissue maturation.
