Explanation
Burns are tissue injuries caused by thermal, electrical, chemical, or radioactive agents. The mechanism is destructive of tissue protein resulting in cell injury or death depending upon the type, duration and intensity of the action of the agent.
Considerations
Burns are classified into three types: first, second and third degree according to severity.

Systemic treatment for shock is the immediate concern in extensive burns. Therapy includes relief of pain, strict asepsis and care of the burn area, correction of anemia, and maintenance of fluids and nutrients. Nutritional support is mandatory.
