This document discusses different types and classifications of burns. It defines burns as coagulative necrosis caused by heat transfer to the body above 44°C. Burns can be thermal (flame, hot water, steam, hydrothermal, hot metal), electrical, or chemical. Electrical burns make up a small percentage of burns but have special concerns. Classification is also based on depth of tissue damage, from I° affecting just the epidermis to IV° extending through the entire skin and into fat, muscle and bone. Treatment involves resuscitation using formulas like Parkland or Muir, wound treatment with bandaging or surgery, and wound coverage with skin grafts, preferably from sites like thighs, back, scalp or buttocks
