The first case of [[burns|burns injury]] was  discovered from more than 3,500 years ago. French barber-surgeon Ambroise Paré  was the first to describe different [[degrees of burns]] in the 1500s. For many decades after original description, there was little progress in defining the pathogenesis of burns occurred and different treatment. In the  1900's, it was found that the development of modern [[Burn (injury)|burn]] care began by  Arabian physician his name  Rhazes, at about the ninth century. In  1940's major advances procedure was acknowledged([[skin graft]]). to improve the body structure and early [[wound healing]] of patients. The term was subsequently formally adopted in medical nomenclature to describe individuals of all ages with a characteristic common symptom pattern, disease causes, and treatment.

Burns injury was discovered from more than 3,500 years ago, since the people use the fire either to prepare the food or to warm themselves.

  • many types of treating records during the centuries, Egyptians treated burns by incantations and a mixture of gum, goat's hair, and milk from a woman who had given birth to a son[1].
  • In the 1500 BCE (years before Christ) Smith papyrus reports of some type of linen strips soaked in an oily preparation ( honey and the salve of resin)[2].
    • (1) Celsus described treatment with a honey and bran, and then cork and ashes(wine and myrrh) documented to 100 CE.

  • In the 1940s, the importance of early excision and skin grafting was acknowledged, and around the same time, fluid resuscitation and formulas to guide it were developed. In the 1970s, researchers demonstrated the significance of the hypermetabolic state that follows large burns [4][5][6][7].
