[Use of thyroidin for stimulating oxidative processes in the tissues of burn patients].

Abstract

Thyroidin was used in 30 patients with the burned disease at the stage of septicotoxemia with the burn exhaustion of the I--II degree and the square surface of granulated wounds not more than 20% of the body surface. Small doses of thyroidin used according to the proposed scheme in combination with the intensive oxygen therapy gave an obviously positive curative effect. Normal utilization of oxygen by tissues and the improved capillary blood flow were finally observed. These measures caused reviving of regenerative processes and normalization of protein metabolism.
