or burns and scalds can occur quite easily in our day to day lives and even when using a range of simple household items. If you use hair straighteners or tongs, you will surely have picked up a few burns in your time and of course there are the old offenders the cooker and its hot pots and pans, and the kettle.
When we pick up these minor burns we will often not think that much about them and will perhaps just run the burnt area under the cold water tap for a few seconds. Often this is all that these small burns require but burns should really be assessed before any treatment is applied.
Prompt first aid will generally enable them to heal naturally and well Supra Cali Vulk low, but the advice of a medical practitioner should be sought if there is any doubt as to the severity of the injury. When assessing the burn and level of required first aid treatment, it is important to consider the circumstances in which the burn has occurred and its size, depth and location. There are a few key rules to help assess and explain the size of burn, for example, an area similar to the palm of patients the hand (including the fingers) is classed as 1% of the body surface area. Anything this size or above, regardless of its depth should be checked out by professionals. There is also another size and severity measuring method used for extensive burns known as the ‘Rule of Nines’ which breaks the body into eleven sections, each equating to 9% of the body surface area. These sections are; the head, chest, abdomen, left and right arms, upper back and lower back, the right thigh, left thigh and lower right and left legs.
In all cases, when the skin is damaged by burning, the skin can no longer function effectively as a natural barrier against infection in the body, it should also be noted that the skin and flesh continue to burn even after the source has been removed. So, not only is it imperative that the burnt area is protected against infection, it is also essential that the burning process is halted to avoid further damage. This is where specifically designed burn treatment products come in extremely useful and prove their worth.
When you are being trained in first aid Supra Dixion grey, it is highly likely that you will be advised not to use any products on burns except for cold water.

However despite these teachings, you will probably recall the shocking images taken in the aftermath of the London bombings one of which included a woman with a white mask over her face? The woman had received burns to her face and that white mask was a specialised impregnated burn dressing. That burn dressing would have undoubtedly been applied by a highly qualified emergency professional in order to prevent further damage by cooling the burn (in the same way as water would) and to provide protection against infection and foreign bodies entering the burn wounds.
