    Study Notes

    Burn Classification

    • Superficial burn: affects only the epidermis, characterized by redness, peeling, and mild pain, heals in 3 days by re-epithelialization with no scarring.
    • Superficial partial burn: affects the epidermis and papillary dermis, characterized by redness, peeling, blisters, and pain, heals in 1-2 weeks with minimal scarring (white spots).
    • Deep partial burn: affects the entire epidermis, dermis, and some nerve connections, characterized by redness, waxy appearance, white color, decreased pain sensation at the site, but pain in surrounding tissue, blisters and eschar may be present, heals in 2-4 weeks with possible significant scarring.
    • Full burn: affects the entire epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, characterized by a bloodless, white, and hairless appearance, with eschar formation, requires surgical intervention, skin grafts, and revascularization for healing.
