Types of Burn Injuries

Medical professionals classify burn injuries according to their degree of severity. There are first, second, third, and fourth-degree burns:

• First-degree burns. First-degree burns cause pain, redness, and swelling and are like a mild sunburn. These receive treatment at home;
• Second-degree burns. Second-degree burns need medical attention. These burns cause redness, swelling, and blistering and have a wet or moist appearance. Second-degree burns may scar;
• Third-degree burns. These burns extend to the fat tissue below the skin and cause nerve damage. Skin looks waxy, leathery, or tan and will likely scar. Third-degree burns require hospitalization; and
• Fourth-degree burns. The skin may blacken, or char and nerves suffer extensive damage. Fourth-degree burns damage muscle, tendons, and bone and may prove fatal. These burns need hospitalization.

Third and fourth-degree burns may require consecutive surgeries and rehabilitation therapy and leave lifelong scars or disfigurement. Due to skin loss, burn victims may succumb to infections. If burns were due to an enclosed fire, respiratory issues from smoke inhalation might prove fatal.

Common Causes of Burn Injuries

Burn injuries come from several sources. However, all burn injuries are due to a transfer of energy to the body. Common causes of burn injuries include:

• Thermal energy. A thermal burn comes from an external heat source such as an open flame, boiling liquid, or hot metal coming into contact with the skin;
• Electrical energy. An electric current enters and exits the body from an exposed wire, power line, or some other electrical source;
• Radiation energy. UV rays, an X-ray, or any other source of radiation can result in a radiation burn; and
• Chemical energy. Chemical burns may result when a strong detergent, solvent, or industrial product comes into contact with the skin or eyes.
