T29-T32: Burns and corrosions of multiple and unspecified body regions
T29: Burns and corrosions of multiple body regions
Burns and corrosions of multiple body regions are injuries that involve damage to the skin or deeper tissues, caused by heat, chemicals or electricity. Each injury can potentially affect multiple body areas at once, such as both the upper and lower limbs, the torso, and the face or head. Damaged areas may exhibit redness, pain, swelling, and blistering; more severe cases can lead to charred or white and unfeeling skin. Additionally, these injuries may cause systemic responses like fever and shock due to extensive tissue injury. Chemical burns or corrosions specifically refer to tissue damage caused by corrosive substances, which can cause symptoms to be more immediate or delayed based on the corrosive strength. Burns and corrosions may vary in their severity; they can progress from superficial to deep, making it crucial to receive an immediate and precise evaluation.
