The Treatment of Thermal Burns with the Antibiotic Powder "Nebisep" - USSR.

Abstract

There exist many methods of treating burns. At their basis lies the struggle against shock, pain, the loss of plasma and proteins, intoxication of the organism, prophylaxis of secondary infection and late complications (keloids and contractures), and also symptomatic and general reinforcing treatment, full value feeding and care. In spite of the great amount of experience of surgeons of all countries and a considerable literature, up to the present time many questions of the burn problem have not been resolved and there is still no single opinion concerning the maximally rational method of treatment. The latter circumstance serves as the basis for the publication of further researches and observations. In the present work we would like to communicate our own experience in the treatment of thermal burns with the use of the new medicinal preparation, Nebisep. We observed 186 patients, of whom 41 were treated in the hospital and 145 ambulatorily. The distribution of patients by sex, age, and degree of the burn is presented in Table 1. In 23 individuals (12.37%) the area of the burn ex-ceeded 10 percent of the body surface according to B. N. Postnikov, and in three of them it reached 30 percent.
