- Abstract:
- Skin serves as a protective barrier against infection, prevents excessive fluid and electrolyte losses, performs crucial thermoregulation, and provides tactile feedback of surroundings. The skin also plays an essential role in human perception of body image, personal appearance, and self-confidence. With these many diverse functions, understanding normal anatomic composition of skin is pivotal to evaluating the extent of its disruption from burn injury. This article discusses the pathophysiology, initial evaluation, subsequent progression, and healing of burn wounds. By delineating the various microcellular and macrocellular alterations of burn injury, this review also augments providers' capacity to deliver patient-centered, evidence-based burn care.
