Burns Pathophysiology and Treatment
Burns Pathophysiology and Treatment
In this video we are diving into the pathophysiology, types, signs and symptoms, and interventions for burns.
Pathophysiology of burns: they are caused by a source of heat, chemicals, radiation, or electricity which is transferred to the skin and the burn occurs. When the burn occurs, the skin and underlying tissues become damaged, which triggers the release of certain chemicals. These chemicals go and tell the blood vessels to constrict. This causes the cells to separate and become leaky leaking fluid into the surrounding tissues causing edema.
Signs and symptoms of Burns: The initial signs are things like redness, blistering, or charring of the skin and depending on the severity it can cause fluid and electrolyte shifts, decreased sodium, increased potassium, and an increased hematocrit level.
Nursing Interventions and assessments for burns: you'll make sure their airway is clear, then you'll give oxygen as prescribed, and then you'll start IV fluid resuscitation. You will need to monitor for any fluid shifts and electrolyte changes that can occur, and will monitor for infection very closely.
Alrighty, that was a lot to take in, great job, friend! You are doing amazing, keep the faith!

Omg this really helped me understand the pathophysiology of burns!!! Why can’t they just tell us this and break it down like this in school 🤦🏽♀️
Yas!! My instructor taught us what to look for and said fluids shift but didn’t explain exactly why but maybe it’s because they expected us to already know this from biology/microbiology/chemistry. This video was very helpful and now I won’t forget that potassium likes to be warm and cozy inside the cells and sodium is a free spirit that likes to party outside the cells!😂
Yay, Nurse Jones! We are so glad this video helped you! Thank you for your support, it means the world to us. 😊

So does that mean serum potassium levels is the level of the potassium free flowing in the blood only and not the potassium inside the cells?
Yes, exactly, Bonsai Baby! Thank you for being here. Have a fantastic day 😊
All of these signs and symptoms will still appear as an option on the test question. D problem is knowing which comes first. All the answers always looking the same. 1st degree burn is the same as superficial, n both will still be on the options A-D. This is where d problem is.
It can be tricky to narrow down the highest priority option, Olufunke Adewole! Continue doing practice problems, you can do this! Thank you for being here😊
Please why didn’t you talk about the types of burns?
