Leukemia
Most common in children younger than 15 years
Acute lymphatic leukemia (ALL)
HINT: ALL Little Children
The Philadelphia chromosome can be present in all cancers except?
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
No edema is present in this burn wound
Deep-full thickness burn
Damage to the epidermis and some parts of the dermis. Blisters are present.
Superficial partial-thickness wounds
The initial fluid shift; occurs in the first 12 hours and continues for 24-36 hours
Resuscitation phase
Most common in adults older than 60 years old
Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
MOST SERIOUS OF ALL LEUKEMIAS
Abrupt, dramatic onset
Prognosis is poor
This leukemia has a strong genetic link
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
Damage only to the top layer of the skin
Superficial burns
Damage only to epidermis
Damage to the entire epidermis and deep into the dermis. Blisters are rare.
Deep-partial thickness wounds
Starts at about 24 hours after injury when capillary leak stops
Fluid remobilization phase
Diagnostic hallmark of CML
Philidelphia chromosome
This leukemia has an abrupt, dramatic onset
Acute myelogenous leukemia
Abrupt, dramatic onset with an infection or abnormal bleeding
Eschar is present in these three types of burn wounds
Deep-partial, Full-thickness, Deep-full thickness
A chemical burn may result in this kind of burn-wound
Deep-partial thickness
Begins 48-72 hours after the burn when fluid shifts back to vascular space
Diuretic stage
Blood volume increases, increased kidney flow, and diuresis
The presence of this abnormality is an important indicator of residual disease or relapse after treatment
Philidelphia chromosome
This leukemia has three phases
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
Chronic, Accelerated, Blast
No pain is present in this burn wound
Deep full-thickness wounds
Damage to all layers - extends into muscle, tendons, bones. literally cannot feel pain
Severe edema is present in this type of burn wound
Full-thickness wound
Begins when the fluid shift resolves and lasts until wound closure is complete
Acute phase of burn injury
Begins about 26-48 hours after injury
Most common leukemia in adults
Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
Most common among adults older than 60
This phase is the only phase that is responsive to therapy
Chronic phase of CML
Healing time is 2-6 weeks
Deep-partial thickness wound
An escharotomy is needed for this burn-wound
Full-thickness wound
Injury is evaluated and immediate problems of fluid loss, edema, and reduced blood flow are assessed
Resuscitation phase
