Full thickness burns to more than 20 % of the skin surface is a life-threatening

situation. Why is this?

  2. The loss of skin sensation prevents access to environmental information.
  3. The body is not able to prevent water loss from the burnt area.
  4. Soft internal tissues are abraded by the external environment.
