  Burned skin exhibits an increased evaporative water loss associated with an obligatory concurrent heat loss, which can cause hypothermia. [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Rigor

  Antiseptic techniques were rigorously followed in dealing with the patient. Silver sulphadiazine 1% cream was used topically for the wounds with meticulous care of the urinary catheter and intravenous lines. [medbc.com]

  It is difficult to determine the time of death as body temperature, post-mortem hypostasis and rigor mortis cannot be assessed. The burnt areas will be found reddened and blistered or charred. [forensicpathologyonline.com]

  Combining as many different scoring systems as possible is recommended to achieve rigorous conclusions 32. [nature.com]

• Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome

  The fatality rate was 28.2%, mainly due to sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Blister

  The burnt areas will be found reddened and blistered or charred. Blisters may be present either in the main burn or as islands beyond the periphery. The whole of the burned area may form one large blister or be confluence of blisters. [forensicpathologyonline.com]

  In order to prevent infection, the blisters of second degree burns should be left alone. Second-degree burns may require antibiotics and intravenous fluid replacement. [resource4burninjury.com]

  Types of Burns First-Degree or superficial burns are identified by pain, redness, minor swelling and an absence of blistering. [advancedtissue.com]

  If the burn starts to blister, simply apply an antiseptic ointment and cover the area loosely with a clean nonstick bandage. Never try to break a blister – blisters are an important part of the skin's healing process. [babycenter.com]

  Many experts recommend unroofing blisters if they contain cloudy fluid or are likely to rupture imminently (e.g., blisters located over joints). 15, 22 The management of clean, intact blisters is controversial. [aafp.org]

• Ulcer

  The stomach and duodenum are more likely to develop ulcers because more acid is produced. Sometimes despite medication to increase gastric protection, erosion of the stomach wall (ulcers) may develop. [burncentrecare.co.uk]

  There may be inflammation and ulceration of Peyer’s patches and solitary glands in the intestines. Occasionally, ulcers are produced in the duodenum (Curling ulcers), about the tenth day in extensive burns of the body. [forensicpathologyonline.com]

• Skin Eschar

  The dead skin (eschar) is white, tan, brown, black, and occasionally red. Superficial vascular thrombosis can be observed; there also can be focal tissue loss with prolonged exposure and a soapy-looking lesion that is found in alkali burns. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]

  Pruritus is often triggered or worsened by environmental extremes (especially heat), physical activity and stress. 6 The itching usually diminishes gradually and eventually stops after complete wound healing. 6 Until then, a number of measures can be [aafp.org]
