Partially |compensated |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-All |values |are |abnormal |including |pH
PaO2 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-80-100 |normal
60-79 |mild |
40-59 |moderate |
<40 |severe
Chemical |burns |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Burns |that |occur |when |any |toxic |substance |comes |in |
contact |with |the |skin. |Most |chemical |burns |are |caused |by |strong |acids |or |alkalis. |Ex: |Drain |
cleaner, |oven |cleaner, |bleach
Electrical |Burns |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-injury |caused |from |contact |with |electric |current |ex: |
lightening
Thermal |burns |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-caused |by |contact |with |open |flames, |hot |liquids |or |
surfaces, |or |other |sources |of |high |heat. |Ex: |clothes |ignite |from |electrical |sparks
Method |used |to |assess |burns |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Rule |of |nines
, Head= |9% |
arm= |9% |
Front |torso |=18% |
back |=18% |
leg= |18% |
perineum= |1%
BSA |(body |surface |area)
Radiation |burns |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-redness |and |blistering |on |the |surface |of |the |skin |or |
other |organs |caused |by |intense |exposure |to |ionising |radiation |ex: |cancer |treatment, |sunburn
Phases |of |burns: |emergent |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Fluid |shifting |Out |of |cells |possible |
hyperkalemia, |maintain |airway, |fluid |replacement |(lactated |ringers), |pain |management, |wound
|care. |First |24 |to |48 |hours |after |burn
Phases |of |burns: |Rehabilitative |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-72 |hours |to |one |year |after |burn. |
Reconstruction, |correct |of |procedures, |and |physical |and |psychological |adjustment
Phases |of |burns: |Acute |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-First |48 |to |72 |hours |after |burn. |Bones |cover |
with |tissue |fluid |turns |to |vascular |space, |sodium |loss |through |diuresis |causing |hyponatremia |
which |causes |altered |mental |status. |Potassium |shifts |back |into |cells |causing |a |hypokalemia
partial |thickness |burn |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-May |blister |and |peel |in |a |few |days |example: |
sunburn, |heels |in |3 |to |6 |days, |generally |no |scarring, |topical |creams |provide |relief, |antibiotics |
not |needed, |drink |water
deep |partial |thickness |burn |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Blisters |are |typical, |heals |in |14 |to |21 |
days, |blisters |provide |biologic |dressing |and |comfort, |once |blisters |break |red |raw |surface |will |
be |painful, |usually |do |not |require |surgery
