deep 2nd degree burn (epidermis & dermis), hair follicles, sweat glands, appears red & elastic. Sensation potentila to convert to full thickenss burn due to infection, healing time 21-35 days
eval: occupational profile, ROM (72 hrs post-op), sensation (when wounds are healed), strength (when wounds are healed), AROM & meaninful role act as soon as possible
intervention: wound care & debridement, sterile, whirl-pool, & dressing changes, gentle A/PROM as tolerated, edema control, splinting, occupational role act & ADL strenghtening when wounds are healed
Full thicknes burn (3rd degree)
involes epidermis & dermis, hair follicles, sweat glands, & nerve endings, appears while, waxy, leathery & non-elastic. Sensation absent, requires skin graft, hypertrophic scare, healing time can take months
eval: ROM (5-7 days post-op), occupational profile, sensation (when wounds healed), strength (when wounds healed), ADL & meaninful role act ASAP
Post-op intervention: 72 hrs (dressing cahnges, splint at all times)
5-7 days: begin AROM, light ADL & meaninful act, sterile whirlpool
7 + days: PROM as tolerated, ADL & meaninful act
when wounds healed use masage
order compression garmetns
provide otoform/ elastoner inserts
strengthening
