Module 06 Burns
Burns
Everyone has probably accidentally burned themselves. There are different types of burns
which include thermal, electrical, chemical, and radiation burn. Some burns are minor and can
treated at home, while other burns need medical intervention. Burns are also classified by
depth. Let’s take a closer look at the classification of burns.
Burns are classified by the depth of injury to the skin. Before exploring the classification of
burns, take a moment to review the video of the skin layers to fully understand the depths of
burns which are reviewed next.

Skin Layers and Functions
Partial-Thickness Burns
Partial-thickness burns involve the entire epidermis and varying depths of the underlying dermis.
Partial-thickness burns are divided into 2 categories: superficial partial-thickness burns and
deep partial-thickness burns.
Superficial Partial- Thickness Wounds
Injury to the upper third of the dermis
Has a good blood supply
Wounds are pink and moist and blanch when pressure is applied
Blister formation occurs
Heal in 10-21 days
Usually no scar, but pigment changes can occur
