Types of Burn
Burn injuries can be classified by their type and their depth. The main types of burn are:
• Scald – caused by a hot liquid or steam
• Friction – caused by rough surfaces, e.g: carpet
• Radiation/sunburn
• Electrical – may have an entry burn and an exit burn
• Chemical
• Dry – touching hot objects, e.g: a cooker.
FIRSTAIDPOWERPOINT.ORG
Depths of Burn
Broadly, burns can be classified into three main depths
FIRSTAIDPOWERPOINT.ORG
Depths of Burns
● 1st degree / superficial: Minor damage to the top layer of skin. Normally appears
as just redness. Sunburn is the most common example of a superficial burn
● 2nd degree / partial: Damage to several layers of skin. Causes blistering of the skin.
● 3rd degree / full: Damage to skin and underlying tissue. May be charring of the
skin.
Large burns may have several depths. For example, there may be a 3rd degree burn
surrounded by areas of 2nd and 1st degree burns.

First Aid Management
● Ensure the scene is safe for you to approach. Call for emergency medical help.
● Cool the burn for a minimum of 20 minutes with running water
● If no running water is available, improvise with any cool non-toxic liquid available
● Keep the patient warm and prevent hypothermia.
● “Cool the burn, warm the victim”
● Cover the burn injury with a sterile non-fluffy dressing or clingfilm. Do not wrap the dressing
tight around the burn injury
● Do not apply butter or toothpaste to the burn
● Do not burst any blisters
● Do not remove any clothing stuck to the burn
● Do not apply ice to cool the burn
