ABSTRACT

The treatment of extensive burns using a method recently adopted in this country, namely application of primary biological dressing in patients undergoing treatment under conditions of "Clinitron" fluid bed, is discussed. The ten-year follow-up study covers 1100 patients with extensive burns, distributed in three groups according to the method of local treatment employed 1) Patients treated by closed method in conventional conditions. 2) Patients treated by closed method under fluid bed conditions. 3) Patients treated on a fluid bed plus primary dressing with the newly obtained biopreparations for local application--Cypocol and skin collagen transplant. The approach outlined is consistent with the traditional treatment procedures. By combining the curative properties of biopreparations, used as primary biological dressing, with those of the fluid bed, a clinical effect considerably superior over the one thus far recorded is attained. Emphasis is laid on the advantages of the therapeutic approach proposed-suppressing endo-and exogenous infections, and substantial reduction of the hospitalization term.
