Summary
Two-thirds of reported burn cases admitted to burn centers affect less than 10% of total body surface area (TBSA) and require a relatively short hospitalization. The majority of patients with major burn injury or significant physiological derangements survive. Improvement in mortality rates is related to advances in resuscitation, infection control, modulation of the hypermetabolic response to traumatic injury and early excision and grafting. Traditional classification of burns of first, second, third and fourth degree have been replaced by a more descriptive explanation of injury depth:
