First Aid for Burns in Delhi

Burns are among the most frequent injuries sustained in accidents that call for prompt and efficient first aid. We offer professional care and direction for burn injuries at Dr. Deepak's Clinic in Delhi to promote the best possible recovery and reduce problems. Any injury caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation, or sunlight that damages both the skin and the underlying tissue is called a burn. Depending on the degree of heat, the total area of burned tissues, and the duration of skin exposure, burn damage can range from minor to potentially fatal, therefore it is very vital to take care of it immediately after it happens.

Let us understand how burns work and how their severity is categorised

They are arranged ranging from minor to severe

In a First-Degree Burn, Only the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, is affected; they hurt and cause redness. It can easily be healed. But the Second-degree burns cause blistering, swelling, redness, and excruciating agony. They affect the dermis, the layer of skin beneath the surface layer of skin. It hurts quite a lot and needs immediate attention. Third-degree burns on the other hand cause white or blackened, charred skin that is perhaps numb because it has been burned through the dermis and impacts deeper structures, so much so that the skin in that area gets beyond immediate repair.

First Aid process for First Aid for Burns in Delhi

If someone's clothes catch fire, use whatever tools are required to put out the flames rather than attempting to remove the charred material that has adhered to the skin. Let the fire completely extinguish. Quickly place him on the ground, then tightly wrap him in any thick clothing. Gently roll the person who is suffering or pat the blanket to put out the flames. As soon as you can, use cold, clean water to soothe the burn. The application of cool water to injured tissue lowers its temperature, decreases heat buildup, and relieves pain. This helps prevent further skin damage. After an accident, cooling may be beneficial for 30 to 60 minutes.

Get the patient immediately to the nearest hospital for emergency care, and if Dr. Deepak’s Clinic is nearby, look for the quickest way to book an emergency consultation.
