What type of burns appear wet and blistered? - ANS ✓Partial thickness burns
(second degree)
How do you treat CO exposed pt? - ANS ✓100% oxygen flow through non re-
breather mask
What is a reliable measure of circulating blood volumes in burn patients? -
ANS ✓Hourly urine output
*Goal= 0.5-1.0 ml/kg body weight*
Hospital admission criteria for burn pt
(8) - ANS ✓1) Partial-thickness burns greater than 10% total BSA (TBSA)
2) Full-thickness burns greater than 2% TBSA
3) Burns involving the face, hands, genitalia, perineum, or major joints
4) Circumferential extremity burns
5) All high-voltage electrical burns, including lightning injury--Admission of
low-voltage electrical burns is selective
6) Chemical burns
7) Inhalation injury
8) Burn injuries in patients with preexisting medical disorders that could
complicate management, prolong recovery, or affect mortality (eg, diabetes,
immunosuppression)
Parkland Formula for Fluid Resuscitation in Burn pt - ANS ✓3-4 mL Ringer
lactate X weight (kg) X %TBSA burned (second-degree and third degree);
*half administered over the first 8 hours* (from time of injury),* remaining
half administered over the next 16 hours*
What injuries may necessitate inter-hospital transfer?
