Description
The diagnosis, prognosis and choice of various types of treatment of burn wounds depends largely on the physical appearance of the wound itself and of the surrounding tissue. This atlas offers a selection of illustrations of common and unusual burns, caused by a variety of agents. The accompanying captions provide an introduction to the identification and classification of burns. Outlines of the appropriate management are offered for each type of injury, with before, during and after treatment sequences where necessary.
