Skin Anatomy
This is the type of epithelium found in the epidermis
What is stratified squamous keratinized epithelium?
This type of thermal burn will typically heal within 6 days
What is a superficial thermal burn?
This complication of burn patients is characterized by increased blood pressure and heart rate, peripheral insulin resistance, and increased protein and lipid catabolism, which lead to increased resting energy expenditure, increased body temperature, total body protein loss, muscle wasting, and stimulated synthesis of acute-phase proteins.
What is the hypermetabolic response?
This is a surgical procedure used to treat full-thickness burns that may prevent ischemia and preserve respiratory function
What is escharotomy?
This is the most superficial layer of the epidermis
What is the stratum corneum?
This type of thermal burn can appear patchy cheesy white to red and will cause hypertrophic scarring
What is a deep partial thickness burn?
These are the two most common causes of burn wound infections
What is Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas?
This is the calculation for the Parkland formula
What is 4 mL x weight (kg) x %TBSA?
Theses are mechanoreceptor cells that associated with sensory nerve endings that can be found in the epidermis
What is Merkel’s cells?
This type of thermal burn can appear waxy white to leathery gray
What is a full thickness burn?
This is a gram negative coccobacilli, becoming more often multi-drug resistant, that is known to cause infections in burn patients
What is Acinetobacter baumannii?
This is the percentage of burn patients that experience depression
What is 12-23%?
These structures can be found in the stratum basale connecting basal cells to the underlying basement membrane
What is hemidesmosomes?
This is the Glasgow Coma Scale score for someone whose eyes open in response to verbal stimuli, is confused in conversation, but able to answer questions, and obeys commands for movement.
What is a score of 13? (E3V4M6)
This is the most common viral infection found in burn wounds
What is HSV-1?
This is the typical fluid used in fluid resuscitation for burn patients
What is lactated Ringer’s solution?
This type of collagen has increased synthesis in hypertrophic scar formation
What is type III collagen?
This is the most accurate method for estimating TBSA for both adults and children
What is the Lund-Browder Chart?
This complication of a severe burn injury results in the formation of lamellar bone in an abnormal location after a prolonged inflammatory state.
What is heterotopic ossification?
This is a testosterone analog used to attenuate the hypermetabolic response seen in burn patients
What is oxandrolone?
