Editing IBID Burn Injury Fields

This dataset is designed to give some insight in to the location, TBSA (Total burn surface area), of the superficial and dermal portion of the injury, as assessed at the burn service, any contamination and treatment given.

Theme used office 11

PSU Assessment

Primary and Secondary Survey Results - This is a free type box to record the characteristics of the injury.

SF/SD (Superficial or Superficial/mid-dermal thickness) BSA (Burn Service Assessment) - Enter the TBSA (Total Burn Surface Area) of the superficial and superficial dermal portion of the injury, as assessed at the burn service. This characterises the area of skin injury that is, on assessment felt to be capable of spontaneous recovery. Recognition is made that the depth of injury may change with time.

FT/DD ( Deep dermal or full thickness) BSA (Burn Service Assessment) - Enter the TBSA (Total Burn Surface Area)of the deep dermal and full thickness portion of the injury, as assessed at the burn service. This characterises the area of skin injury that is, on assessment felt not capable of spontaneous recovery and is likely to require resurfacing or a protracted period of dressings.

Total BSA - This is a calculated field using data entered in the SF/SD BSA and FT/DD BSA giving a TBSA of the injury, as assessed at the burn service. This is a KPI required field

Other Anatomical Injuries - Free text field to list all other (non-burn) injuries sustained.

Areas Involved by Injury

In the area of the body affected, choose from the drop down list, details of the depth to which the injury extended. The item that describes the deepest injury recorded should be chosen.
