More Details on Burns
As a leading cause of accidental death, burns are exceeded in number only by car accidents and falls. The American Burn Association estimates 1.25 million burn injuries occur each year in the U.S.
Burns are classified by the method of the burn and the degree. Electricity, chemicals, or radiation, such as the sun or nuclear sources can cause burns. Burns can be categorized by six different degrees. Fourth degree burns damage muscles beneath the skin. In fifth degree burns the muscle is lost and sixth degree burns result in charring of the bone.
Nerve endings are damaged when a burn occurs, causing intense pain. Depending on the degree of the burn injury, in addition to skin damage, nerves, blood vessels, muscles and bones can be affected. When burns cover large portions of the body death occurs.
Although specialized burn treatment centers can greatly improve the survival rates, the scarring, mobility and reduce complications in serious burn victims, medical costs can be astronomical. Therapy, care and rehabilitation, often for an extended time add to the expense of recovery.
