Today we’re going to look at the “rule of nines,” which is a quick assessment tool used for determining the size of a burn until a more thorough assessment can be made. The size and depth of a burn determines the severity of the burn injury. Several factors are considered when determining the severity of burns, including the size and depth, age of the patient, body part involved, mechanism of injury, injuries sustained at the time of burn, and if there is a history of cardiac, pulmonary, renal, or hepatic disease.
