Severe Burn Treatments (click for worldwide facilities list): The amount of damage that a burn can cause depends upon its location, its depth, and how much body surface area that it involves. Burns are classified based upon their depth. In addition to the depth of the burn, the total area of the burn is significant. Burns are measured as a percentage of total body area affected. As the percentage of burn surface area increases, the risk of death increases as well.
Regardless of the type of burn, inflammation and fluid accumulation in and around the wound occur. Moreover, the skin is the body's first defense against infection by microorganisms. A burn is also a break in the skin, and the risk of infection exists both at the site of the injury and potentially throughout the body.

Third and fourth degree burns, the most serious burns, are painless, involve all layers of the skin and cause permanent tissue damage. Fat, muscle and even bone may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear dry and white. Difficulty inhaling and exhaling, carbon monoxide poisoning, or other toxic effects may occur if smoke inhalation accompanies the burn.

Third and fourth degree burns require specialized medical treatment. Extensive burns are usually treated at a burn center. Burn treatment therapies include skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, and a protracted recovery period.
