See our two episodes on cold and cold injuries.
Hypothermia?
I think so, yeah.
I was like, what did we call this?
Whereas a heat burn is going to be different.
And so most of what I'm going to talk about today
Though it probably applies to most all burns, they're really – I'm talking mostly about thermal burns, so burns as a result of heat injury.
Did you mention radiation burns?
I didn't, but those are yet another type of burn.
That might be more similar to maybe a chemical burn or somewhere in between, a little bit different.
OK.
Yeah.
So, yeah, there's a lot of different kinds of burns.
But so I'm focusing mostly on thermal burns.
These are the most common types of burns worldwide.
And these can be flame burns.
So from a fire as well as scald type burns.
So think hot liquid and those sorts of things.
And those are the two most common types of burns worldwide.
Once we know what caused the burn, then the next thing that we need to know is the severity of that burn.
