Re: Burns So Severe They Need Escharatomy
I think at that point the sensations were pretty much gone from those layers of skin...I doubt he felt anything, even without anesthesia.

Re: Burns So Severe They Need Escharatomy
Like I said, in burns that extensive, it's highly likely that most of the nerve endings were destroyed, and is not, HOPEFULLY by that point any compassionate physician would have loaded the poor guy up with morphine so that he wouldn't feel anything. Escharotomies as almost exclusively done on patients with full thickness burns, it's a way of sort of "loosening" the upper layers of tissue so that the patient doesn't develop compartment syndrome, which is life-threatening in and of itself without having to worry about the burns. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escharotomy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartment_syndrome |

Re: Burns So Severe They Need Escharatomy
Thats about as bad as a fucked up day can get and leave you still breathing....the compression on the chest as the skin/fatty tissues contract must be tremendous and no doubt would result in suffocation as the skin shrinks and sets solid!
