[Comparative effectiveness of various methods of fluid therapy in the treatment of moderate and severe burn shock]. / Sravnitel'naia éffektivnost' razlichnykh zhidkostnykh rezhimov pri lechenii ozhogovogo shoka legkoi i srednei stepeni.

Clinical study of the efficacy of four types of fluid treatment in mild and moderately severe burn shock in 134 patients showed that the prescription of oral alkaline solutions is sufficient in mild burn shock whereas in moderately severe shock fluids must be given by infusion. Intravenous infusion of glucose-electrolyte solutions is sufficiently effective in such cases.

[Treatment of burn shock with crystalloid solutions]. / Lechenie ozhogovogo shoka kristalloidnymi rastvorami.

The authors describe their experience of the treatment of burn shock in 124 patients with the square surface of the thermal injury about 20-49% of the body surface with the help of crystalloid solutions. The investigation of a number of parameters of hemodynamics, hemoconcentration, metabolism showed that patients with the Frank index 20-60 could be helped out of burn shock not only without blood and its albuminous preparations but also without infusions of dextran drugs. Transfusions of blood and its albuminous preparations are shown to be necessary in the nearest postshock period in patients with the Frank index 30-60. It is emphasized that the volume of intravenous infusions should be reduced in cases of associated lesions of the skin and the respiratory tracts.
