Assessment and Classification of Burn Injury

Jason P. Hodde, Edith S. Tseng
Date Published: May 2021

Abstract

Burns are skin injuries that result when cells are destroyed by heat, electrical discharge, friction, chemicals, or radiation. An accurate assessment of burn severity is essential, and must consider the burn mechanism, depth, extent, and anatomic location, as this will dictate the level of specialized burn care needed and impact the caregiver’s choice of treatment options.
