FIRST AID TREATMENT FOR FIRE BURNT PERSON

A fire burn is a type of injury that may be caused by heat. A local anesthetic is generally enough in managing pain of minor first-degree and second-degree burns. There is mixed evidence to suggest that Aloe Vera sap helps to cure the burn area. However, systemic anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen or ibuprofen may be usefully in controlling pain and swelling. Moreover, topical antibiotics such as Mycitracin are important in preventing infection to the damaged area. Irrespective of the cause, the first step in treating a person with a burn is to stop the burning process at the source, and cool the burn injury (but not the patient. It is important to avoid the “lethal triad” of hypothermia, acidosis and coagulopathy). For example, with dry powder burns, the powder should be brushed off first. With other burns, such as those caused by exposure to chemical substances, the injured area should be rinsed thoroughly with a large amount of clean water to remove the caustic agent and any foreign bodies. Cold water should never be applied to a person with extensive fire burns, however, as it may compromise the burn victim’s temperature status.
