Severity of Burn Injuries
Burns can be classified by how deeply they penetrate the layers of the skin and the tissues underneath. Burns that require medical treatment include:
- Superficial partial thickness: May require treatment to prevent skin infections
- Deep partial thickness: May require excision or skin grafting
- Full thickness: Requires excision and may require amputation
- Fourth degree: Requires excision and amputation
Burns may also be classified depending on the total surface area they cover. Their severity may also depend on the age and physical condition of the victim as well as the parts of the body they affect.
