Estimating the depth of burn injury and calculating the burn area in a child with 60% burns is a critical aspect of burn assessment, and it requires a systematic approach. Burn assessment typically follows the "Rule of Nines" for adults and a modified version for children, known as the Lund and Browder chart. However, since this child has 60% total body surface area (TBSA) burned, it's essential to take a meticulous approach to ensure accurate assessment and appropriate management. Here's how you can estimate these parameters:

i) Depth of Burn Injury: Determining the depth of a burn injury is crucial as it influences treatment decisions. Burns are classified into three main categories: superficial (1st-degree), partial-thickness (2nd-degree), and full-thickness (3rd-degree). Here's how to assess the depth of the burn:
