Burns classified according to extent of body surface involved - what does this mean
Burns are classified according to the extent of body surface area involved, with first-degree burns involving only the epidermis, second-degree burns involving the epidermis and partial thickness of the dermis, and third-degree burns involving the full thickness of the skin and underlying tissues.
What happens during the disease - burns classified according to extent of body surface involved
Burns classified according to extent of body surface involve can be divided into four categories: superficial, partial-thickness, full-thickness, and deep partial-thickness. the pathogenesis of these burns is related to the type of injury and the amount of tissue damage. superficial burns are caused by direct contact with a hot object or a flame, leading to damage to the epidermis only. partial-thickness burns involve damage to both the epidermis and dermis, and can be caused by a variety of sources, including hot liquids, flames, and electrical current. full-thickness burns involve destruction of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, and are usually caused by prolonged exposure to a heat source. deep partial-thickness burns involve destruction of the epidermis, dermis, and part of the subcutaneous tissue, and are typically caused by exposure to hot liquids, flames, or electrical current.
