Proper treatment for a burn injury

A full-fledged treatment schedule requires the involvement of many specialists - surgeons, bacteriologists, anesthesiologists, dieticians, physiotherapists and critical care physicians. Clearly, recovery can be complicated and lengthy. Depending on the location and cause of the burns, from a car accident or otherwise, plastic surgery and the need for prosthesis may be involved. The psychological impact of such injuries can be significant. Psychological counseling may be needed during recovery, and after, to prepare victims to live with reduced physical abilities and, in some cases, unsightly scars.

Types of burns

The treatment of the burn injuries depends on the type of burn and the degree. A burn is technically defined as damage to the tissue of the human body due to: heat, electricity, chemicals, nuclear radiation or sunlight. Burn injuries fall into three categories. First-degree burns are those that affect the outer layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. Second degree burns destroy the epidermis along with the layer beneath it, known as the dermis. Third degree burns can completely destroy the  skin, charring underlying flesh. In these cases, victims usually need skin grafts. Some burns are so extensive and so severe that they leave the victim with permanent physical disabilities, including disfigurement, scarring, nerve and muscle damage and damage to the respiratory system.
