What type of burn can lead to Rhabdomyolysis
Electrical burns
Burn classification:
Superficial redness hot to tough and no blisters
1st degree
Burn classification:
Skin is mostly intact, most of basal layer is intact
-blisters, redness, very painful
Superficial partial thickness (2nd degree)
Burn classification:
Yellow/white, some blisters, sensitive to presssure but insensitive to light touch or pin prick
-hypertrophic scarring is likely
Deep partial thickness (second degree)
Burn classification:
white/brown/blackish, painless, dry
-hypertrophic scarring is likely
3rd degree (full thickness)
Pressure injury staging:
Nonblanchalbe erythema
Stage 1
Pressure injury staging:
