Document Summary
Exercise prescription through the stages of recover. All are surrounded by epidermal cells and a rich network of capillaries. Allows heat dissipation via conduction, convection and radiation (via papillary plexus) Regulation of sweat glands to control temperature. Most common type of injury in adults flame burn - Most common injury in paediatrics and the elderly. Rete peg for attachment/ adherence to dermis. Collagenous network of blood and lymph vessels, nerves, elastin fibres and collagen. Loss of moist environment for muscles, tendons and nerves. Total body surface area affected (% tbsa) Usually calculated on the lund & browder chart. %tbsa essential for accurate calculation of fluid replacement requirement. Rule of nines gives a quick estimate of percentage burn. The following criteria are endorsed by anzba in assessing whether burns require treatment in a specialised burns unit (anzba 2004) Burns greater than 10% of total body surface area (tbsa); Burns of special areas face, hands, feet, genitalia, perineum, and major joints;
