It assess the depth of burn injury and gives prognosis to cells affected
Zones of burn injurh
It assess the depth of burn injury and gives prognosis to cells affected
Zones of burn injurh
What are the 3 zones of injury
CoSH
Coagulation/necrosis
Stasis/Ischemia
Hyperemia/inflammation
Zone
Most severe injury
Coagulation/necrosis
Zones
Has irreversible damage
Coagulation/necrosis
Zones
Reversible cell damage
Stasis/Ischemia
Zones
If not treated within 24-48hrs cells may die
Stasis/Ischemia
Zones
Minimal cell damage
Hyperemia/inflammation
Zones
Vasodilation and inflammation WITHOUT permanent damage
Hyperemia/inflammation
Zone
Cells will regenerate in time
