UNAIR NEWS – Burn injuries damage body tissue, particularly the skin, due to exposure to heat sources such as fire, chemicals, or electricity. Immediate first aid for burns involves quickly removing the affected area from the heat source and cooling the burn.
Cooling within the first three hours is highly effective in preventing further tissue damage. This can be done by running clean or sterile water over the burn for 15–30 minutes, ensuring that the water is at room temperature—neither too hot nor too cold. If the burn results in blisters or fluid-filled skin lesions, seeking medical treatment at a hospital is strongly recommended.
