What are the results of Deep partial-thickness burns
A
- Damaged (Nerve Endings, Blood Vessels, Hair Follicles, and Sweat Glands)
- Intact (Deep Pressure Pacinian Corpuscles)
10
Q
What are the complications of Deep partial-thickness burns?
A
- Blanch (Slow return due b.v. damage)
- Edema (Sever due to + circulation)
- Healing (3-5 weeks)
- Dry & Flaky Skin (destructed Sebaceous and Sweat Glands)
10
Q
Full-thickness Bruns
A
- a.k.a (4th Degree burn)
- Destroys Epidermis & Dermis (Fat Tissue)
- Eschar
- No Sensation (Nerves destroyed)
10
