The severity of a burn injury is determined primarily by body surface area involved and not so much the depth of the burn. However, both should be considered when assessing a patient.
The types of burns are:
• 0:34 - Epidermal (first degree)
• 1:52 - Partial Thickness (second degree)
• 3:23 - Deep Partial Thickness (second degree)
• 4:41 - Full Thickness (third degree)
• 6:46 - Subdermal (Fourth Degree)
