Burns
• Refer to the tissue
injury ,destruction or breakdown,
loss of protoplasmic mass, and
erosion of body reserves caused by:
excessive heat
caustics ( acids, alkalis)
friction
electricity
radiation.

3 Classifications of Burns
1. First degree burn
• Injury involving only the outer epidermis layer
• With simple redness ( erythema) of the affected parts
• Not serious • Patient may go home after first
aid treatment• Resolves in 48-72 hours with
comfort measures.
![Page 4: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2. Second degree burn
• The entire epidermis and upper third of the dermis are destroyed
• Vessels leak plasma which lifts off the epidermis thus the appearance of blisters in addition to erythema , it is wet and very painful
• The amount of surface affected is 15% for adults and 10% for children
• Heals within two weeks via repopulation of epithelial cells present in skin appendages and the deep dermis
![Page 5: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
3. Third degree burn
• The injury extends into the dermis, leaving few viable epidermal cells
• With actual destruction of the skin and underlying tissues causing charring
• Wounds are red with scattered deeper white areas throughout.
• Wounds require months to heal

Pathophysiology of Burns
![Page 9: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Effects of Burns
• Loss of skin surface• Loss of enormous fluids, electrolytes, and proteins• Fluid loss because water movers from the burned site to compensate
for the loss, thus reduces blood volume, blood pressure, and urine output
![Page 10: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Energy requirements increase to as much as 100% above resting energy expenditure (REE) depending on extent of burn
• Protein catabolism and increased urinary nitrogen excretion
• Prone to infection• Major burns may develop ileus and are anorexic
![Page 11: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Medical Management
![Page 12: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Fluid and Electrolyte Repletion
• The first 24 to 48 hours of treatment for thermally injured patient are devoted to fluid and electrolyte replacement
• Most agree that half of the calculated volume for the first 24 hours must be given during the first 8 hours, because this period of greatest intravascular loss.
• The volume of fluid needed is based on the age and weight of patient and extent of burn
![Page 13: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Evaporative water loss can be estimated at 2.0 to 3.1 ml/kg of body weight per 24 hours per percent TBSA ( total body surface area) burn.
• Serum, sodium, osmolar concentrations, and body weight are used to monitor fluid status
• Adequate fluid and electrolytes can maintain circulatory volume and preventing ischemia ( insufficient supply of blood to a specific organ or tissue)
![Page 14: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Wound Management
• Depends on depth and extent of burn
• Surgical management promotes early debridgement, excision, and grafting
• Covering wounds may reduce energy expenditure, evaporative heat and nitrogen losses , as well as to prevent infection
![Page 15: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Ancillary ( assisting) Measures
• Physical therapy - helps prevent muscle wasting and atrophy
• Warm environment- minimizes heat loss and the expenditure of energy to maintain body temperature
![Page 16: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Thermal blankets, heat lamps, and individual heat
shields
• Minimizing fear and pain medication
• Antacids- given to patients with major burns to
prevent formation of stress-related Curling’s ulcers
in the gastric or duodenal mucosa
![Page 17: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Medical Nutrition Therapy
![Page 18: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Aims of the Dietary Management for Burned Patients
• to correct fluids and electrolyte imbalance• prevent tissue catabolism and weight loss• achieve and maintain equilibrium especially for
nitrogen, vitamins, and minerals • hasten wound healing and prevent infections
![Page 19: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Factors that affect the Dietary Modification
• Depth of thermal injury• Gastrointestinal function• Hypercatabolic state after a serious burn• Feeding should be initiated soon after resuscitation
![Page 20: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Early enteral feeding within 4-12 hrs of hospitalization was found to be
successful in the ff:• Decreasing the release of cathecolamines• Decreasing glucagon• Reducing weight loss• Shortening hospital length of stay• Provides immune stimulants and serves as effective
prophylaxis against stress-induced gastropathy and gastrointestinal hemorrhage
![Page 21: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
1. Energy Requirements
• Vary according to the size of burn ( 1 palm = 1% total body surface)
• Curreri formula ( formula for caloric requirement:
Kcal needed per day= 24 kcal x kg usual body weight + 40 kcal x % TBSA burned ( using a maximum of 50% burn) -------( Krause, 2004)
![Page 22: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Kcal needed per day ( adults) = ( 25 kcal) x preborn body weight in kg + ( 40 kcal x % BSA burned) ------( Claudio, 2004)
Kcal needed per day (children) = 30 to 100 kcal [RDA for age] + preborn body weight in kg + ( 40 kcal x % BSA burned) -------( Claudio, 2004)
![Page 23: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Maximum caloric load that the body can handle is approximately 100% above resting metabolic expenditure ( 2X REE)
• Indirect Calorimetry – best method in assessing Energy Expenditure especially obese patients since they have higher risk of wound infection and graft disruption
![Page 24: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ireton Jones Equation:
EEE= 1784 – 11(A) + 5 ( W) + 244 ( G) + 239 ( T) + 804 ( B)
• Where: EEE= Estimated Energy Expenditure ( kcal/day) A= Age
W= Weight ( For obese IBW more than calculated; ABW less than calculated)
G= Gender ( female=0; male =1) T= Diagnosis of Trauma ( absent =0; present =1) B= Diagnosis of burn ( absent=0; present = 1)
![Page 25: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Galveston Formula : ( For different ages)
Energy Requirement= 1800 kcal/m2 + 2200 kcal / m2 of burns
• Mayes and colleagues
Estimated caloric needs for children younger than 3 years of age = 108 + ( 68 x kg weight) + 3.9 x % body surface area burn
![Page 26: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2. Energy Sources
• Carbohydrates is an excellent protein sparer• Maximum glucose load of 7 mg/kg/min –
excess will become fatLipogenesis – causes increased oxygen
consumption and carbon dioxide productionHyperglycemia – causes osmotic dieresis
![Page 27: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Omega-3 fatty acids:Improve tube feeding toleranceImproves immune responseInhibit production of prostaglandin E2 and
leukotrienes
![Page 28: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Low fat formula:Less pneumoniaImproved respiratory functionFaster recovery of nutritional statusShorter length of care
![Page 29: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Limit lipid to 12 % to 15 % of the NPC
• Medium-chain triglycerides are preferentially oxidized thus leaving little tendency for deposition of adipose tissue or clogging of the reticuloendothelial system of mitochondria
• Structure lipids may improve hepatic protein synthesis and reduce protein catabolism and energy expenditure
![Page 30: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
3. Protein
• Protein needs are elevated because of the ff:
Losses through urine and woundsIncreased use in gluconeogenesis and wound healing
• High-protein feeding is recommended
• Provision of 20% -25% of total calories
![Page 31: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Feeding 2.5 to 3.0 g/kg protein is suggested for thermally injured children
• Individual adult can be calculated by this formula:
1 g protein/ kg preborn weight + ( 3 g protein x % BSA burned)
• Most adults require an increasing amount of 1.3 to 3 g protein per kg of body weight to achieve nitrogen balance
![Page 32: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Ability to tolerate protein depends on renal function and fluid balance
• Arginine may improve cell-mediated immunity and wound healing, and also affects anabolic hormone production
• Glutamine enhances the ability of neutrophils to kill certain bacteria
• Monitor blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and hydration when given high protein diet
![Page 33: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
4. Assessment of Energy and Protein Adequacy
• Best Evaluated by:Monitoring wound healing - delayed if weight loss
exceeds 10% of usual body weightMonitoring Graft take - delayed if weight loss
exceeds 10% of usual body weight Basic nutritional assessment parameters
![Page 34: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Exact evaluation of weight loss is hard to obtain due to fluid shift or edema or difference in weights of dressing or splints
• Evaluation of Nitrogen Balance through formulas for estimate wound nitrogen losses:
< 10% open wound= 0.02 g nitrogen/kg/day 11% to 30 % open wound= 0.05 g
nitrogen/kg/day >31% open wound= 0.12 g nitrogen/kg/day
![Page 35: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Nitrogen excretion decreases as wounds heal, grafted or covered
• Serum albumin levels, remain depressed until major burns are healed
• Serum prealbumin, retinol-binding protein, and transferrin are used to help assess protein status for burned patients
![Page 36: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
5. Vitamins and Minerals
![Page 37: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
RATIONALE FOR MICRONUTRIENT REQUIREMENT FOR BURNED PATIENTS
• Vitamin C- ( 500 mg twice a day)• Thiamin, riboflavin, Niacin • Vitamin A- 5000 IU per 1000 calories of enteral
nutrition)• Zinc- ( 220 mg zinc sulfate)
![Page 38: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Sodium- Hyponatrenia are seen in patients who have:
evaporative losses due to application of dressings or grafts
changes in maintenance fluidsbeen treated with silver nitrate soaks
• Potassium – Hypokalemia often occurs after the initial fluid resuscitation and during protein synthesis
![Page 39: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Calcium – Hypocalemia is seen in patients with more than 30% TBSA, especially when treated with silver nitrate soaks , this is accompanied by hypoalbuminemia.
• Phosphate – Hypophosphatemia occurs in patients who receive large volumes of resuscitation fluid along with parenteral infusion of glucose solution and large amounts of antacids for stress ulcer prophylaxis
![Page 40: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Magnesium- can be lost from burn wounds
• Iron- Anemia is seen following burn thus treated with packed red blood cells
![Page 41: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
6. Method of Nutrition Support
• Implemented in individual basis• Burns of less than 20% TBSA are able to meet
their needs with a regular, high-calorie and high protein diet
• Concealed nutrients such as adding protein to puddings, milk and gelatins
![Page 42: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Tube feeding is required for patients with:
Major burnsExtraordinarily high Energy
expenditurePoor appetites
• Enteral feeding is preferred method, but parenteral nutrition is necessary with early excision and grafting
![Page 43: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Ileus is often present so patients can be fed successfully into the small bowel
• IGF-1 and human growth hormone decreases the stress response and improve nitrogen balance in burn patients
![Page 44: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Anabolic steroids such as oxandrolone, when combined with a high-protein diet ( 2 g/kg/day) restores weight loss
• Total Parental Nutrition ( TPN) is a method of choice for patients with persistent ileus and high risk for aspiration or used for immediate replacement of fluids and electrolytes
![Page 45: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Oral Solutions
• entered through the mouth • an example is Holdrane's Solution ( consists of 1/2 tsp or 4 g salt, 1 1/2 tsp or 2 g sodium bicarbonate or baking soda, and a liter of water)
![Page 46: Burns ppt report](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081415/551dd4604a795979108b48b0/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
* Burn patients are in pain, worried about disfigurement, and know they have long costly and painful stay in the hospital with the possibility of surgery, so they need a great deal of encouragement and understanding.
