About Wounds and Burns

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

This unit sits in the Trauma Care strand of Emergency medicine and first aid. It splits into two halves: wounds, and burns. Most of the material is about burns, with a smaller set on wound care and related injuries.

  • Wounds: the mind map Wound Types sorts puncture, avulsion, degloving, incised and laceration injuries. The deck Wound Care EMED asks how to irrigate a wound and when healing stages such as epithelialization occur. There are also decks on dressings, ulcers and assessment, and sprains and strains.
  • Burns: mind maps on skin layers, first-degree to third-degree burns and signs and symptoms, plus a flowchart on burn management and referrals to burn centers.
  • Related injuries: decks on frostbite and smoke inhalation injury.

Where to start

Begin with a mind map to get the big picture. Skin Burns and Burns both walk through skin structure and burn degrees. If you want a story to hang the facts on, the maps about Nadia burning her hand cover skin layers, types of burns and symptoms.

Then move to the flowchart Burn Managment, which covers the phases of burn care, assessment and when to refer. The flowchart Burn Causes & Classifications is a good companion.

Using quizzes and maps together

  1. Read one mind map slowly and cover the branches you think you know.
  2. Take a quiz, such as the one titled Burns, and note which questions you miss.
  3. Go back to the matching branch of the map and fix the gap.
  4. Finish with flashcards. The deck Ch. 29 Burn Emergencies covers questions such as what patients die from and the systemic effects of burns on the body.

The page also lists the mind map Rule of 9's, useful when you are working on how burn size is estimated.

Who this suits

Most resources are pitched at university level, with a good share aimed at professional candidates. Teachers can pull the maps and decks into lessons or handouts. Everything was made by GoConqr users, so styles and depth vary. Compare a few on the same topic.

When you're ready, open a quiz or a deck and see what you already know.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with a mind map such as Skin Burns or Burns, which lay out skin layers and the degrees of burn. Once that feels familiar, open the Burn Managment flowchart for phases of care and referrals, then test yourself with a quiz or flashcard deck.

What do the wound resources cover?

The Wound Types mind map sorts injuries such as puncture, avulsion, degloving and incised wounds. The Wound Care EMED deck covers irrigating a wound, the timing of healing stages and tetanus prophylaxis. There are also decks on dressings, ulcers and sprains and strains.

Are these resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so it helps to compare a couple of resources on the same topic.

Who are these resources for?

They mainly suit university students and professional candidates working on trauma care, and teachers looking for ready-made material. A few are simple enough for school students to follow. None of the listed resources mention a named exam.

Is there anything beyond burns and wounds?

Yes. The page also lists flashcard decks on frostbite, smoke inhalation injury, sprains and strains, and ulcers and assessment. The Rule of 9's mind map and a note from a burn guest speaker add extra angles on the topic.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Try a nearby resource first, since burn maps often cover skin structure and classification too. If a gap remains, a free account lets you save your quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
