NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The rule-of-nines is a quick method to assess the extent of burn injury in an adult. To calculate the extent of the burn count: 9% for both the anterior and posterior surfaces of the head and neck. 9% for both the anterior and posterior surfaces of each upper limb (18% for both)

Detailed explanation-2: -The “rule of palm” is another way to estimate the size of a burn. The palm of the person who is burned (not fingers or wrist area) is about 1% of the body. Use the person’s palm to measure the body surface area burned.

Detailed explanation-3: -Moderate: Second-degree burns that cover about 10% of the body are classified as moderate. Burns on the hands, feet, face or genitals can range from moderate to severe. Severe: Third-degree burns that cover more than 1% of the body are considered severe.

Detailed explanation-4: -To calculate the %TBSA (quotient), it is necessary to divide the burned surface area (Burned BSA) (numerator in cm2) by the total body surface area (Total BSA) (denominator in cm2).
