Burns
The different types of burns are first degree superficial burns. The first degree burns touch the epidermis layer of skin. First degree burn is red and painful with no blisters. A for a moment touch of a hot pan or sunburn is first degree burn. Second degree burns include the epidermis and part of the dermis layer of skin. Second degree burns looks red, swollen and blistered. Second degree burns are when the skin touching the oven element or boiling hot water. Third degree burns are full thickness burns because they destroy the epidermis and dermis and may go into the subcutaneous tissue. The third degree burns damage the nerves and tissue in the skin. Third degree burns are open fire and electrical burns causes’ skin to look white or …show more content…
It inhibits evaporation of bodily fluids and performances as a wall against infection. A first degree burns heal naturally because the body is able to regrow damaged skin. When burns are second and third degree burns sites need to be reconstructed with an grafts. Split thickness skin grafts are skin graft that consists of the epidermis and a portion of the papillary dermis (Fuller 737). Split thickness skin grafts are thinner, can cover larger areas and, does not need to be surgically closed. Full thickness skin graft uses all of the epidermis and all of the dermis integumentary layers of the skin. Full thickness grafts have a habit of not to contract as much maintain original size and have better texture and color match to the surrounding skin. Mesh graft help cover large areas of the skin surface. Mesh graft allow drainage of the wounds, and requires less donor skin. The sheet graft is skin that is transferred directly from the unburned donor site to the prepared recipient site. Other grafts are hetero graft, auto graft and homograft. Debridement is the removal of loose, devitalized, necrotic, dirty, foreign bodies, and other debris on the wound. Debridement help heal wound clean with minimal microbial colonization and necrotic debris present. Debridement cleans the wound and allows it to heal more rapidly with reduced risk of infection. Debridement is did on superficial burns that are
