燙傷的醫療處置
燙傷的分類
Scald burn
•Most common in children, also in elderly patient
•Depend onwater temperature, skin thickness, and the duration of contact
(60 degree 3 seconds = 69 degree 1 s, deep dermal burn)
•Grease and hot oil
Flash or flame burn
•Prolonged exposure to intense heat
•Often associated with inhalation injury and other concomitant trauma
Contact burn
•Extremely hot or abnormally long
•Usually deep thermal or full thickness
Electrical burn
•High voltage (>1000 V)
•Extensive skin injury with necrosis at the contact point and deeper structures
•The resistance of tissue gradually from **nerves to vessels, muscle, skin, tendons, fat and bone
•Multi-organ injury
•Like crush injury, traumatic injury
Low voltage (<1000 V)
Flash burn (no current flow through the body)
Lightning
•Point of electrical burns
•Entry and exit point
•Compartment syndrome need fasciotomy
•Myonecrosis, with severe myoglobinemia\(massive muscular destruction\) can lead to acute renal failure
•Cardiac dysfunction: atrial fibrillation or supraventricular arrhythmias
Chemical burn
•Frostbite, cold injury 凍傷
燙傷初步評估
Airway and cervical spin control
•Nasal endotracheal tube, tracheostomy
•Upper airway obstruction can develop quickly
Breathing
Circulation
•Good iv access and give fluids
Neurological disability
Exposure with environmental control
Fluid resuscitation
•Assess burn size and depth
•Good iv access and give fluid
•Analgesics

燙傷的深度
Function of skin
•Thermal regulation and prevention of fluid loss
•Hermetic barrier against infection
•Sensory receptors
First degree, epidermal burn
•Second degree
•Superficial partial thickness burn
Deep partial thickness burn
Third degree, full thickness burn
Forth degree
Local and systemic response
•Zone of coagulation, zone of stasis \(decrease tissue perfusion\)
•Release of cytokines and other inflammatory mediators if over 30% TBSA
Epidermal Burn (1st Degree)
Red and quite painful
No blister
Subside over 2-3 days
Day 4: injured epithelium peels脫皮
Day 7: healing complete
Treatment
•Supportive care
•Pain control
•Cold compression
•Topical emollients
Superficial Partial Thickness Burn
2nd degree burn 淺二度燙傷 : Blanching sign
Epidermis and superficial dermis, blistering is common水泡
Healing is expected within 14 days
殘留較多皮膚附屬器:汗腺,毛囊,皮脂腺
Most superficial facial burns heal well with watchful neglect. Progression to a deeper burn
•Wound dries out
•Infection
•Patient becomes systemically unwell or hypotensive
Treatment
•Preventing wound progression by the use of antimicrobial creams and occlusive dressings
Deep Partial Thickness Burn
深二度燙傷
Most difficult to assess and treat
Wounds usually mixed superficial and deep
•Re-examination in 48 hours
•Less skin appendages density
•The burn takes longer to heal, the scarring is more severe and associated with contraction
Spontaneous healing: 3-9 weeks
Treatment
•In extensive or in functional or cosmetically sensitive areas: better excision and skin graft
•Avoid infection
Full Thickness Burn(3 rd Degree)
Epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous structure
White or charred
Burn eschar
Only healing by edge and contracture
Some even involved muscle, tendon, ligament or bone (4th degree)

急性燙傷手術
燙傷後身體代謝變化
- Nutritional therapy play a key role of wound healing
營養治療
Major burn (> 20%)
•Oral intake is not enough
•Enteral nutrition through nasogastric or nasoduodenal transpyloric tubes \(tube feeding\)
•The rigorous schedule of dressing changes, operations, and rehabilitation sessions interferes with meals
•High-dose analgesics
•Early enteral nutrition can relieve gastrointestinal damage, and maintain the integrity of intestinal mucosa after
severe burn

•Recover confidence in their ability to work and enjoy life
Regular physiotherapy several times per day
Starting physiotherapy from 1st day of patient’s admission and as early as the 3rd day of grafting
Early chest physiotherapy to prevent remove secretions and prevent atelectasis
Exercise and stretching therapy to prevent joint contracture
Ankle pump exercise several times per day
Prevention of muscular atrophy with passive and active (with and without load) exercises ± electrical stimulation
Ambulation as soon as possible
Education of the patient’s family to help the patient and the burn care professionals
Consideration and prevention of secondary complications (e.g., frozen shoulder, scoliosis, etc.)
Use of splinting and modalities (e.g., ultrasound) based on patient’s need to protecting the skin grafts and preventing the burn scar
Encourage activities of daily living with emphasis on fine movements and joint mobilization.
Silicon and pressure garment therapy
Complications
Skin graft loss
Infected wound
•Should be suspected if the wound becomes increasingly uncomfortable, painful, or smelly; if cellulitis or fever
•Regular and repeated wound culture
Compartment syndrome 腔室症候群
•Elevated pressure in fascia, extensive edema
•Risk: circumferential full-thickness burns (neck, thorax, abdomen, extremities)環狀三度灼傷
