Summary
TLDRIn this video, Dr. Jerry explains how to handle burns at home before seeking medical help. He highlights that burns, often caused by hot water, fire, or other extreme temperatures, need quick and correct treatment. Immediate care includes cooling the burn with running water for 20 minutes, removing any clothing near the burn, and keeping the patient warm. He advises against using household remedies like toothpaste or oil. If the burn is extensive, severe, or affects critical areas like the face, hands, or genitals, urgent medical care is required.
Takeaways
- 🔥 Burns can be caused by various factors such as hot liquids, flames, sun exposure, direct contact with hot surfaces, or even extreme cold like frostbite.
- 🚫 Avoid using substances like toothpaste, soy sauce, jelly, oil, or honey on burns. These do not help and may worsen the condition.
- 💧 The first step in treating burns is to stop the burning process. For burns caused by hot liquids, remove the child from the source and run cool running water over the affected area for at least 20 minutes.
- 🧊 Do not use ice or extremely cold water, as it can worsen the burn. Use room temperature water for cooling.
- 👕 Remove any clothing or jewelry from the burnt area to prevent further damage, unless they are stuck to the skin.
- ❄️ After cooling the burn, keep the child warm by wrapping them in a blanket to prevent hypothermia, especially if a large area of skin is affected.
- 💦 If blisters form, do not pop them at home. Leave them intact to avoid infections and let a medical professional handle it.
- 🏥 Seek medical attention immediately if the burn covers a large area (more than 10% of the body in adults or 15% in children), or if the burn is caused by electricity, chemicals, or affects sensitive areas like the face, hands, feet, or genitals.
- ⚠️ For burns that penetrate deep into the skin, resulting in white or brown discoloration, immediate medical evaluation is needed.
- 💡 Burns can continue to worsen over several days if not treated properly, so early intervention and ongoing monitoring are crucial.
Q & A
What is the main cause of burns as discussed in the video?
-The main cause of burns discussed in the video is exposure to extreme temperatures, particularly hot water, fire, hot objects, and chemicals. Burns can also occur from extreme cold, as in frostbite.
Why is it important to treat burns quickly after the incident?
-Treating burns quickly is essential because the burn process can continue for 3-5 days after the initial injury, potentially worsening the burn's severity if left untreated. Quick treatment helps prevent the burn from becoming more extensive and deep.
What are common but incorrect treatments people use for burns?
-Common but incorrect treatments include applying toothpaste, soy sauce, jelly, oil, and other home remedies like Zambuk or honey. These treatments can complicate medical care and cause more pain during the cleaning process.
What is the proper first aid treatment for burns caused by hot water?
-The proper first aid treatment involves immediately removing the person from the hot water, taking off any clothing stuck to the burn area, and running the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes. This helps reduce swelling, pain, and the burn's severity.
What should you avoid doing to blisters that form on burns?
-You should avoid popping blisters that form on burns, as this increases the risk of infection. A doctor should assess and treat these blisters when appropriate.
When should a burn be covered with a plastic wrap or similar material?
-A burn should be covered with a clean plastic wrap or similar material if the skin is peeling or the burn is large. This helps prevent fluid loss and protects the wound from infections.
How can you estimate the percentage of body area affected by burns?
-You can estimate the percentage of the body affected by burns using the person's hand size. Each hand (palm) represents roughly 1% of the body. For children, burns covering more than 15% of the body require immediate medical attention.
Under what conditions should burns be taken to the hospital immediately?
-Burns should be taken to the hospital immediately if they cover a large area, are caused by chemicals or electricity, affect sensitive areas like the face, hands, feet, or genitals, or cause breathing problems from inhaling hot fumes or smoke.
What is trauma inhalation, and why is it dangerous in burn cases?
-Trauma inhalation occurs when hot fumes or smoke from a fire are inhaled, potentially causing burns in the lungs. This is dangerous because it can lead to serious breathing complications and must be treated quickly.
What should be done to maintain body temperature after a burn?
-After treating a burn with cool running water, the person should be dried and wrapped in a blanket or warm clothing to prevent hypothermia, as they may feel cold after the burn treatment.
