Estimating the time and temperature relationship for causation of deep-partial thickness skin burns

摘要: The objective of this study is to develop and present a simple procedure for evaluating the temperature exposure-time conditions that lead causation deep-partial thickness burn effect immediate post-burn thermal environment can have on process. A computational model has been designed applied predict time required skin burns reach level injury. includes multiple tissue layers including epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, subcutaneous tissue. Simulated exposure temperatures ranged from 62.8 87.8°C (145-190°F). Two scenarios were investigated. first worst case scenario was direct water (characterized by large convection coefficient) with clothing left following exposure. second consisted scald insult followed immediately being washed cool (20°C). For both cases, an Arrhenius injury whereby extent depth calculated compared different treatments. In addition, values experiment data literature assess verification numerical methodology. It found clinical observations agreed values. Furthermore, inundation decreased more quickly than insulating led modest decrease in extent.
