High-Yield Explanation
Deep paial thickness burns involve damage to the deeper pas of the reticular dermis. Clinically, the epidermis is usually lost. The exposed dermis is not as moist as that in a superficial burn.There is often abundant fixed capillary staining, especially if examined after 48 hours. The colour does not blanch with pressure under the examiner's finger. The sensation is reduced, and the patient is unable to distinguish sharp from blunt pressure when examined with a needle. Deep dermal burns take 3 or more weeks to heal without surgery and usually lead to hyperophic scarringSkin is completely anaesthetized in full thickness burnsBailey and Love 26e Pg 390
