A 6-month-old child has burns to his head, face, neck, and anterior chest. The percentage of his body surface area that has been burned is 21%.
Burns are the damage of the skin caused due to excessive heat, some chemical, due to electric shock or from sun radiations. The damage can vary depending upon the quantity of damage to the body. If only the skin has been burned then it is a first degree burn, but when the tissues, ligaments and even the nerves are damages, then it is a third-degree burn.
Anterior chest comprises the vertical bone of the chest, called sternum. The muscle present on the anterior chest is the sternalis muscle.
