[Homeostatic changes in burn patients treated by a laminar flow of sterile heated air]

Under observation were 102 burned patients with different degrees of injuries treated under conditions of the laminar flow of sterile air without dressing. The results obtained were compared with those obtained in the similar group of patients treated by a traditional dressing method. The abacterial medium with controlled humidity and temperature was established to exercise a favourable effect on homeostasis and such stages of the burn disease as shock and toxemia.
