Abstract
The initial 48 hours following a thermal burn injury present the most significant window of opportunity to influence a patient's life expectancy. This review was aimed to describe clinical update of thermal burn injury. Burns are categorized according to their size, severity, the age of the patient, and any related medical conditions or injuries. A precise assessment of the magnitude and extent of the burn injury is essential for quantifying resuscitation parameters. Smoke inhalation, trauma, and electrical injuries are frequently present with burns. Severe burns, regardless of their origin, can lead to comparable complications such as infection, difficulty breathing, dysfunction of multiple organs, blood clot formation in veins, and gastrointestinal issues. In conclusion, the treatment plan of thermal burns will be determined based on the expected location, size, and depth of the burn. The initial 48 hours of burn care have the most significant influence on the morbidity and death of burn victims.
