Seattle Burn Injury FAQ

What kinds of injuries “count” as burn injuries?
The category “burn injury” includes more than just burns from heat sources. It also covers burns caused by electricity, scalding burns from hot steam, and chemical burns from exposure to noxious chemicals or fumes. All of these sources can cause injuries to tissue classified as burn injuries.
Are there any long-term injury risks after a burn injury?
Burn injuries can do extensive damage to skin, nerve endings, muscle, and even bone. As the injury heals, the patient’s risk of infection is higher, since damaged skin is less able to protect the body from viruses and bacteria. Even when the injury is fully healed, the injured person may have lifelong scarring, disfigurement, and nerve pain near the injury site if the burn is severe. Third or fourth degree burns may also require amputation of the affected limb in order to save the patient’s life.
