• scald—caused by hot liquids or gases, such as a cup of tea
• flame burn—caused by burning of clothing or a flammable liquid on the skin
• flash burn—caused by explosions, e.g. an ignited gas leak
• contact burn—caused by physical contact with a hot object, e.g. an iron or radiator
• radiation burn—caused by close proximity to a heat source.
The depth of a burn is related to the energy transferred, which is related to the temperature
of the agent and the contact time. This is modified by the thickness of the
skin which is related to the patient’s age as well as the anatomical site.
