About Burns.

Burns are acute injuries to the skin and deeper organic tissues caused by exposure to thermal energy, radiation, electricity, friction, or corrosive chemical agents.

While primarily affecting the integumentary system across all demographic groups, severe or extensive cases can trigger profound systemic dysregulation across the respiratory, cardiovascular, and renal systems.

Pathophysiologically, burns are characterized by protein denaturation, cellular necrosis, microvascular compromise, and disruption of the epidermal barrier, often graded by anatomical depth from superficial to partial- and full-thickness injuries.

Extensive involvement provokes massive capillary hyperpermeability, marked fluid shifts leading to hypovolemic shock, hypermetabolism, and an elevated susceptibility to invasive infection.
