Abstract: Burns are injuries caused by the action of various physical agents (flames, hot liquids and objects, radiated heat, ultraviolet rays, radia- tion, electric current, cold), chemical (caustics, acids, alkalis and hy- drocarbons) and biological (plant resins, irritating substances of an- imal origin) [1,2] causing damage or destruction of the largest organ of the entire body, that is, the skin and/or its contents, interrupting its vital functions such as protection and homeostasis [2] causing alter- ations ranging from simple erythema to the total destruction of dermal and subdermal structures [1,3] Local heat injury on the skin and mu- cous membranes, with temperatures > 40° (degrees), initiates tissue destruction by protein denaturation [2]
