Thermal Injury Classifications First-degree burns produce superficial pain while second-degree partial thickness injuries create blistering demanding debridement/grafting. Third/fourth-degree full thickness burns destroy skin/muscle/bone requiring amputation consideration while inhalation injuries compound mortality risks through airway edema. Rule of nines quantifies body surface involvement dictating fluid resuscitation volumes. Scar Contracture Complications Hypertrophic scarring limits joint motion requiring serial casting/release surgeries while keloid formations demand steroid injections/revision excisions. Functional losses cascade through reduced grip strength, gait abnormalities, and cervical restrictions impairing employment viability. Custom pressure garments, silicone sheeting, and laser resurfacing protocols extend treatment timelines years post-injury. Psychological Trauma Overlay PTSD, body dysmorphic disorder, and social withdrawal compound physical disfigurement creating psychiatric treatment…
