Internal bleeding

-is bleeding occurring inside the body.

1. EXTENT

- The extent of a burn is expressed as the total percentage of body surface area.

Total body surface area (TBSA) is an assessment measure of burns of the skin.

The "rule of nines" is used to determine the total percentage of area burned for each major section of the body.

2. DEPTH

- Depth of a Burn The traditional classification of burns as first, second or third degree is being replaced by the designations of superficial, superficial partial thickness, deep partial thickness and full thickness. Burn depth has an impact on healing time, the need for hospitalization and surgical intervention, and the potential for scar development.

Superficial Burn (First Degree)

- A first degree burn involves only the top layer of skin. The skin is red and dry and usually painful. This type of burn usually heals in 5-6 days without any permanent scarring.

Partial-Thickness Burn(Second Degree)

- A second degree burn involves the top layers of skin. The skin is red with blisters that may open and weep clear fluid, giving the skin a wet appearance. This type of burn usually heals in 3-4 weeks, and scarring may occur.

Full-Thickness Burn(Third Degree)

- A third degree burn destroys all layers of skin and any or all of the underlying. The burn appears brown or black with the tissues underneath sometimes appearing white. This burn is critical and requires immediate medical attention.

3. LOCATION

- Most burns are determined to be critical by the depth and the size of the burn. However, burns on important parts of the body are critical regardless of the overall size of the burn itself. Face, genitals, hands and feet are the most dangerous sites of burns because it is considered as critical.

4. AGE and MEDICAL CONDITION

- Children below 5 years old and elderly above 65 years old are patients that are difficult to manage along with patients with medical conditions like Diabetes Mellitus, etc.

tissue injury, usually of the skin, caused by exposure to extreme heat.

2. Chemical Burn

- occurs when living tissue is exposed to a corrosive substance such as a strong acid or base.

3. Electrical Burn

- An electrical burn is a burn that results from electricity passing through the body causing rapid injury.

A bandage is a piece of material used either to support a medical device such as a dressing or splint, or on its own to provide support to the body

USES OF BANDAGE:

1. To stop bleeding

2. To tie a splint (device to immobilize broken bone)

3. Used as a sling

4. Used to immobilize a body part

5. Used to hold the dressing in place

The triangular bandage is made from cloth

or from paper. These are exceptionally

versatile. When they are made into a pad,

they can be used as a cold compress or for

padding. When unfolded, they can be used

as a support sling or cover bandage.

EMERGENCY RESCUE

Rapid moving of patient/ victim from unsafe place to place of safety.

INDICATIONS:

1. Danger of fire or explosion

2. Danger of toxic gases or lack of oxygen

3. Serious traffic jam

4. Risk of drowning

5. Risk of electrocution

6. Danger of collapsing walls.
