Description

This volume represents a comprehensive introduction to current practices in the management of severe burns in the People's Republic of China. Thus although based largely on clinical work and experimental research performed in China, it also takes account of work done elsewhere. The 18 chapters deal with such topics as the history and development of burn surgery in China, the assessment of the severity of burns, first aid, early fluid resuscitation measures, the treatment of inhalation injury, wound management, the surgical treatment of deep burns, wound coverage and epithelial culture, measures to cope with local and systemic infection, immunology, the management of multiple organ failure, metabolism and nutrition, and rehabilitation. The application of techniques from traditional Chinese medicine to the management of burn injuries is also described.
