wound care:
-prevent infection by cleansing and debriding the area of necrotic tissue.
-promote wound re-epithelialization, successful skin grafting.
Excision and grafting:
-early removal of necrotic tissue followed by application of skin graft.
Pain management:
-continuous background pain
-treatment induced pain
-patient controlled analgesia (PCA)
-Opioid, analgesics, anxiolytics
physical and occupational therapy
nutritional therapy

When the cells lose permeability, they can lose potassium and cause issues
with arrhythmias.
They will lose Na as well, imbalances.
Full-thickness burns

(basically 3rd degree)
-all layers of skin
-may extend into subcutaneous fat, connective tissue.
-muscle, bone
-white, black or Tan/Brown with hard leathery surface
-might be eschar
-requires skin grafting/excision
-no sensation
-NON BLANCHING, INSENSATE, VARIED COLORS,
