The neck is an exposed part of the body, which is easy to cause burns. The skin is weak and the tissue is elastic. After burns, it may cause appearance deformities and dysfunctions. The light ones directly affect the appearance and functional activities of the head and neck. Chest adhesions can affect language, chewing, eating, breathing and other functions.

Diagnosis and identification of neck burns

1 Diagnosis basis

1.1 Have a history of flame burns or hot liquid scalds.

1.2 Judgment of Burn Depth

1.21 First degree burn: The skin on the wound is red, swollen, painful, hot, without blisters, feeling slightly allergic, the skin is dry, and there is no infection. The local temperature is higher than the wound surface.

1.22 Superficial second degree burns: blisters on the skin surface of the wound. After the blisters are removed, the wet wounds are exposed. The wounds are very red and edema, and the wounds are allergic and severely painful. Local temperature increases.

1.23 Deep degree burns: there are blister but smaller, the wound surface is slightly wet and whitish after peeling, sometimes there are multiple red dots or small blood vessel branches, edema is more obvious, there is pain, but the wound feels dull. The local temperature was slightly lower, and the pluck test was positive.

1.2 Deep degree and degree wounds are basically healed, and the remaining scattered wounds are below 1%. It is expected that the dressing will be cured.

1.3 Visceral complications were basically cured.

2 Improvement criteria

2.1 Severe burns, large-scale burns, or third-degree burns heal most of the wounds, and the remaining wounds still require skin grafting.

2.2 There are obvious deformities on the face, hands, and feet, or there are other dysfunctions. Life cannot be completely self-care, and plastic surgery is still needed. ^[1]
