Burn injury types from car accidents

Automobile fires

Automobile fires are very common. They can be caused by gas explosions that shoot debris with great force. Car parts can become shrapnel in the explosion.

The depth of the wound has three classifications: first degree, second degree, and third degree. First degree, or superficial, burns involve only the epidermis. A second degree and third degree, or partial or full thickness burn, involve both the epidermis and dermis, and the hair, nerves and sweat glands (and sometimes muscle and bone).

Burn Treatement

1. Skin Grafts
2. Exercise
3. Pressure Garments
4. Cosmetic Surgery


Do You Need a Skin Graft?

Skin grafts will help the skin heal. Depending on the individual, it may be several days before it can be determined how severe the burn is and whether or not a skin graft will be needed. This will depend on the way in which you got burned, your age, previous health, where the burn is, how big the burn is, and how deep the burn is.


Pressure Garments

Pressure garments are pieces of fabric that help skin heal and also help to protect the burn from further injury.


Exercise

Exercise will help reduce swelling and will make it easier for you to regain full movement when the skin is healed.



Cosmetic Surgery

Skin smoothing surgery is used to clear irregularities caused by skin scarring during the healing process.

The severity of the burn depends on several factors: your age, previous health, where the burn is, how big the burn is, and how deep the burn is.
