Summary Introduction

To determine:

The extent of damage to the body of a person escaping a burning room in a short nightgown which catches fire. Also explain the problems that might arise due to the damage and what can be done in the environment to compensate the loss.

Introduction:

The extent of damage done by a burn is estimated in tissue damage by the ‘rule of nines’. Only after knowing the amount of damage can the treatment begin as it gives an approximate amount of the skin that has to be substituted and the fluid and electrolytes that need to be replaced in the damaged tissues.
