  5. Moderate Burns • Full thickness involving 2%-10% of body • Partial thickness covering 15%-30% of body • Superficial covering > 50% of body

  6. Critical Burns • Full thickness to hands, feet, face, airway, or genitalia • Full thickness covering > 10% of body • Partial thickness covering > 30% of body • Respiratory burns • Burns complicated by fractures • Moderate burns to elderly and children
