Understanding Burn Injuries and Types by amakye003 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A burn is an injury caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, light, radiation, or friction, primarily affecting the skin but can also damage deeper tissues. Burns are the second leading cause of injury in children aged 1-14, with 80% occurring at home, and they are classified into thermal, chemical, electrical, radiation, and inhalation burns. The assessment of burn severity is based on the percentage of body surface area affected and the depth of the burn.
