Burns are categorized based on their severity and the depth of tissue damage they cause. The classification system commonly used to describe burns is the "degree" system, which includes three main degrees and a special classification for certain severe burns: 1. **First-Degree Burns (Superficial Burns):** These burns affect only the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). They are characterized by redness, pain, and minor swelling. Sunburns are a common example of first-degree burns. Healing usually occurs within a few days without scarring. 2. **Second-Degree Burns (Partial-Thickness Burns):** Second-degree burns are further divided into two types:    a) **Superficial Second-Degree Burns:** These burns extend into the deeper layers of the epidermis. They cause blistering, intense pain, redness, and swelling. Healing typically takes around two to three weeks, and scarring might occur.    b) **Deep Second-Degree Burns:** These burns penetrate deeper into the dermis. T

The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a neurological scale used to assess the level of consciousness and neurological status of a patient with impaired consciousness. It is widely used in emergency medicine to evaluate patients with traumatic brain injury, head injuries, and other neurological conditions. The GCS provides a standardized way to communicate and document the patient's neurological status and helps in determining the severity of brain injury. The GCS evaluates three components of neurological function: eye opening response, verbal response, and motor response. Each component is assigned a score, and the total GCS score is calculated by adding the scores of the three components. The GCS score ranges from 3 to 15, with 3 being the worst score (indicating severe impairment of co
