Extracorporeal methods of detoxification in burn disease

Abstract

The treatment of burn disease presents significant difficulties. Particularly high mortality (51.7% - 64.4%) occurs during the period of acute burn toxemia, characterized by pronounced intoxication of the body.
 According to the toxic theory of burn toxemia pathogenesis, it is determined by the toxicity of blood, lymph, extracts from the skin and internal organs, fluid blisters burned. This theory is recognized by most combustiologists; researchers differ in their opinions only in assessing the nature of the toxin and the place of its formation.
