🔥 Day 8 — 100 Days to NCLEX

Day 8 is ready in the Classroom tab.

Today I’m studying Burn Management, including burn depth, Rule of Nines, TBSA calculation, Parkland Formula, burn phases, electrolyte changes, and escharotomy indications.

The main focus is understanding the priorities: airway first, then fluid resuscitation, circulation, infection prevention, and recognizing when a burn is restricting breathing or blood flow.

Key points from today:

Airway first with face/neck burns, soot, hoarse voice, or stridor

TBSA counts partial-thickness and full-thickness burns only

Parkland Formula = 4 mL LR × kg × %TBSA

Half of fluids go in the first 8 hours from the time of burn

Emergent phase = shock, edema, hyperkalemia

Acute phase = wound care, infection prevention, hypokalemia risk

Escharotomy = tight circumferential burn restricting circulation or breathing

Full study guide is posted in the Classroom tab. 🩺📚
