Description: This educational film depicts the dangers of burns and how to treat such a dangerous injury. The film is part of a series called "To Save A Life" released by Encyclopedia Britannica. It was written by Lauraine Thomas, R.N. and produced by Morning Star Films. A firefighter leaps from bed in alarm (:33). As the alarm is sounded, the firemen jump down the firefighter’s pole (:40). Firefighters sprint into the burning building as wounded civilians move away from the flames (:53). A burn victim is walked out of the building (1:05). The various sources of a potential burn injury are pointed to as smoke, flames, steam and hot water (1:20). An employee falls over leaving himself with a chemical burn (1:25). An electrical shock can also leave a person with a burn injury (1:30). A young woman inspects under her bathing suit for sun burn (2:03). A diagram follows of the layers of skin showing how a second-degree burn might appear (2:12). An actual second-degree burn is shown on a forearm (2:19). Second degree burns may heal on their own or they may require skin grafting (2:28). The blackened skin of a third degree burn victim follows (2:44). Bacon is left on a skillet for too long (3:07). A woman runs to the sink to run a wound under water after burning herself (3:19). In another situation a man applies cold wet cloths to a woman’s burned arm (3:37). The exposed wound must be dried (3:53). The wound can be covered with a dry bandage (3:59). A young boy notices their home on fire (4:35). The burn victim is pulled from the house (4:51). He covers the man with a sheet in order to help stop the burning (4:55). The victim is doused with water from a hose (5:05). The boy checks the man’s breathing and pulse (5:22). As synthetic fabrics and metals retain heat, all of the burn victim’s jewelry is removed (5:33). Fabric stuck to the skin must be thoroughly cooled (5:58). The woman covers the man with towels and blankets (6:14). Emergency responders arrive and pull the man onto the stretcher (7:13). An incident with a chemical burn is looked at (7:26). An industrial worker trips while carrying a chemical which breaks all over him as he falls (7:31). A coworker rushes to dowse the man with water (7:38). The victim removes all clothing and jewelry (7:45). As a mother cleans her windows with ammonia, part of the chemical drips into her eye (8:05). Her eye is flooded with water from an outdoor hose (8:18). Contact lenses are to be removed after flooding the eye (8:33). Flooding again continues (8:37). If the victims ingests the chemical, their mouth must be flooded (8:56). The film turns to injuries caused by electrical currents (9:10). A man is electrocuted while working on an electrical box (9:26). A diagram shows how an electrical current moves through the body and to the ground (9:34). A coworker notices the incident and uses a dry piece of wood to move the man from the electrical box without touching him (9:59). The man checks the victim’s breathing (10:07) and calls for help (10:21). CPR is conducted (10:28). A diagram shows how smoke inhalation affects the body (10:55). The victim is moved to fresh air (11:18). The first victim is turned to again as he may also have suffered from smoke inhalation (11:45). Signs of smoke inhalation include soot near or in the nose or mouth (11:54). The eye chemical burn victim is shown wearing protective googles (12:12). Flammable liquids are moved from flames (12:20). Another method to prevent injuries is to move pan handles towards the center of the stove when cooking (12:24). A man stores dangerous chemicals in a locked cabinet (12:40). Flammable objects, including matches and lighters, are to be kept from children’s reach (12:49). The four emergency actions called for in the event of a burn injury are summarized as the films begins to wrap up (13:08). A Pruner ambulance carries the burn victim away (13:55) signifying the film was made in Ventura or Los Angeles, California. The credit screen closes out the film which had been produced for Encyclopedia Britannica Educational Corporation (14:10). It was produced by Morning Star Films (14:15).

[Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Applause] serious burn injuries are suffered by thousands of people every year burns can be life-threatening the most critical injury the human body can survive burns and burn related injuries are caused by flames smoke hot liquids chemicals and electric current burn injuries to the skin are described by the depth of tissue damage superficial partial thickness or first degree burns injure or destroy the outermost layers the skin appears dry pink to red may be blistered and is moderately painful first degree burns heal spontaneously without scarring deep partial thickness or second-degree burns injure or destroy two or more layers of skin the skin is moist red or mottled has thick walled blisters and is extremely painful second-degree burns may heal spontaneously with scarring or require skin grafting full thickness or third-degree burns destroy all layers of the skin the skin looks waxy white deep red leathery brown or black there is no pain or feeling in these burns because all nerve endings have been destroyed third degree burns must be grafted to heal properly severe skin burns are usually a combination of second and third degree burns if you suffer a small first or second degree burn here is what you should do to stop the pain immediately soak the area in a container of cold water for 30 minutes or longer or apply cold wet cloths to the area do not use ice directly on the burn it will damage the tissue even more when the paint is gone gently dry the area and leave it exposed to the air or cover it with a clean dry dressing do not apply butter fats or ointments because they soften and break down skin cells and encourage infection if blisters are present leave them intact they protect the injured tissues from infection while healing takes place mom that workman's in there get some help in case of a major burn or burn related injury there are emergency actions you can take first stop the burning flames by rolling the victim on the ground or by covering him with a large heavy fabric then immediately drench the victim with generous amounts of water or any available liquid that won't burn the important thing is to stop the burning quickly and completely the second emergency action is to make sure the victim is breathing and his heart is beating go get help quick synthetic fabrics and metal retain heat so remove all jewelry and burn clothing don't try to remove fabric that sticks to the skin just cool it thoroughly a burn victim's greatest danger is from rapid loss of body heat and fluids the third emergency action is to conserve the victim's body heat and fluids by wrapping him in a clean sheet or any clean fabric when necessary roll the victim gently on his side spread out two or three blankets or other warm material next lay a clean sheet or any clean fabric over the blankets then wrap the material completely around the body the head should be covered as well because it is a major source of body heat loss the fourth emergency action is to get the victim to the hospital as rapidly as possible burn injuries can also result from contact with chemicals that generate heat in most cases stop the burning by flooding the skin immediately with water then remove all involved clothing including under clothes and jewelry continue flooding the skin with water for at least 20 minutes before taking the victim to the hospital oh denise help me if eyes are burned by a chemical immediately flood them with water if the victim is wearing contact lenses remove them after flooding the eyes then continue flooding and hold the eyes open to direct water under both lids if only one eye is burned as in this case be sure to direct water flow away from the unaffected eye if the chemical has gotten into the victim's mouth flood the mouth with water but tell her not to swallow it extensive damage could result from chemicals swallowed with the water severe injury can also be caused by electric current electric current injury to skin always results in full thickness or third degree destruction but most of the damage is invisible and often devastating electric current passes through the body to the ground taking the path of least resistance through nerves blood vessels and tissues richly supplied with blood between the small skin burns where electric current entered and left the body may lie massive internal tissue damage if electric current can't be easily shut off try to knock the victim free without touching him use a dry wooden stick otherwise there may be two victims instead of one in burn and burn related injuries the second emergency action is to make sure the victim is breathing and his heart is beating hey get some help electric current injuries often stop the victim's heart if this happens and you are properly trained immediately begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation continue until breathing and heartbeat are restored or expert help arrives to take over smoke inhalation is often a burn related injury that can be life-threatening by causing damage to the lungs the lungs are not burned but particles inhaled from incompletely burned materials interfere with breathing get the victim into fresh air as quickly as possible if she is conscious have her breathe deeply and slowly suspect injury from smoke inhalation whenever a person is trapped in a burning building or closed space whether smoke is visible or not also suspect smoke inhalation injury if the victim stood upright while clothing burned if face and neck are burned if there is soot in the nose or mouth if nasal hairs or eyebrows are singed or if the victim develops a brassy cough or change of voice although burns can produce severe injuries here are some things you can do to prevent them where protection when using harmful chemicals keep liquids that burn away from a flame turn panhandles away from the edge of the stove make sure children do not play with electrical wiring store dangerous chemicals in locked cabinets keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children and be on the lookout for other situations that could result in burn injuries if burn injuries do occur remember these four emergency actions stop the burning establish the victim's breathing and heartbeat conserve the victim's body heat and fluids get the victim to the hospital quickly knowing these four actions could help you save a life [Music] you
