Thermal burn injuries occur with a hot local environment. The burned skin seen here over the torso and head of a child occurred from a fire. The treatment and prognosis depend to a great extent upon the extent of the burn injury -- the total body surface area (TBSA) involved. Other factors include age of the patient, underlying diseases, and the presence of an "inhalation injury" from breathing in hot gases, which typically occurs with fires in an enclosed space such as a building.


Thermal burn injuries can occur from hot objects or liquids. Seen here is an amputated hand that was rendered non-viable by a severe scalding injury with exposure to hot water.


This man accidentally grabbed a high voltage electrical line, producing the entrance wound injury seen above on the palm of the hand, with subsequent soft tissue damage and swelling extending to the forearm. The appearance is similar to a localized burn. Below on the dorsum of the hand can be seen the wounds produced as the current exited the hand.

Burns are something that fuck me up. So painful.

Burns seem one of the worse injuries painwise

Found this firefighter's hand with an awful thermal burn sustained during flashover simulation training...

Scalding rendered that hand non viable? Huh - that's a new one to me.

Burns are hell. Anyone severely burned who makes it thru is truly strong. Fuck burns, kill them with fire.

My son was in a fire that burned 65% of his body ankles up to nipple line. He needed 5 skin grafts wore a burn siut for a year and a half and had to learn how to walk again. It was hell watching him go through all of that. I would never wish it on my worst enemy.
