Burns (PTA)
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Superficial Burn | -Outer Epidermis -red, slight edema -no scarring |
Superficial Partial-Thickness Burn | -Epidermis + Upper Dermis -extreme pain with blisters -minimal to no scarring |
Deep Partial-Thickness Burn | -Epidermis + most of Dermis -discolored, broken blisters, edema -moderate pain (damage to nerve endings) -hypertrophic scars & keloids |
Full-Thickness Burn | -Epidermis+Dermis+ Subcutaneous fat(partial) -minimal pain, eschar -require grafts & susceptible to infection |
Subdermal Burn | -Epidermis + Dermis + Subcutaneous fat layer -involve muscle & bone -require surgery |
Thermal Burn | -Conduction or Convection I.e. steam, fire, hot liquid |
Electrical Burn | -Entrance & Exit Wound I.e. Lightening Complications: cardiac, respiratory, renal, neuro., fractures |
Chemical Burn | -Chem. reaction continues until diluted I.e. gasoline, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, lye |

Zone of Coagulation | -Most severe injury -Irreversible cell damage |
Zone of Stasis | -Less severe injury -Reversible damage -Surrounds Zone of Coagulation |
Zone of Hyperemia | -Will fully recover -Presents with Inflammation -Surrounds Zone of Stasis |

Allograft (homograft) | temporary skin graft from another human (cadaver) |
Autograft | permanent skin graft from pt’s own body |
Heterograft (xenograft) | temporary skin graft from another species (pig) |
Mesh Graft | altered to cover larger surface area |
Sheet Graft | transferred directly from donor site to recipient site |
Split-Thickness Skin Graft | only a superficial layer of the dermis + the epidermis |
Full-Thickness Skin Graft | dermis + epidermis |
Dermis | vascular; below epidermis; contains: hair follicles, sebaceous & sweat glands |
Epidermis | superficial avascular; allows for hair follicles, sebaceous & sweat glands |
Donor Site | healthy skin taken & used as a graft |
Recipient Site | site that has been burned and requires a graft |
Eschar | necrotic/nonviable tissue resulting from deep burn; hard, dry, abnormal, black |
Escharotomy | surgical removal of eschar…done to enhance CIRCULATION |
Z-plasty | surgical procedure to eliminate scar contracture…”z” incision allows scar to lengthen |
Hypertrophic scarring | abnormal/disorganized scar formation; raised, firm scar with no pattern |
Normotrophic scarring | scar with organized collagen fibers that align in a parallel fashion |
Pressure Garments | sustained pressure to improve structure of a scar; worn 22-23 hrs/day up to 2 yrs. |
