[Intraportal infusions in the treatment of severely burned patients]

An experience with treatment of 549 patients (not older than 87 years of age) with deep burns of 85% of the body surface has shown high efficiency of the regional (selective) intraportal (through the recanalized umbilical vein) infusion therapy. It allows elimination of hepatic hypoxia, intoxication, microbial aggression etc. This method leads to an improvement of results of the treatment and recovery of critical patients who were earlier thought to be doomed.
