Burn injury refers to damage and/ or destruction of superficial layers of skin/ superficial fascia/ organs or tissues as a result of intense exposure to heat. The severity of burn injury is usually discussed in terms of total body surface area affected (TBSA). Other clinical criteria that are helpful in ascertaining the nature, severity and extent of damage are; involvement of sensitive tissues (like eyes, pelvis, genitals, as well), injury to air-way, the age of patient and degree of burns.
