In 58 patients after performance of plasty with fatty-cutaneous and fasciocutaneous grafts, the state of circulation in the flaps was studied. The level of ischemic disorders was defined. The medicamentous complexes contributing to improvement of circulation in the grafts are suggested.

[The characteristics of the pathogenetic treatment of pneumonias in burn patients].

It is proposed to distinguish 6 main forms of pneumonia in patients burns: "shock lung", bronchogenic, aspiration, atelectatic, toxicoseptic, hypostatic. Clinical experience of treatment of 101 patients with burns revealed 112 different forms of pneumonias and showed the value of the diagnostic screening for revealing these forms and efficacy of their differentiated therapy.

[The value of the indicators of oxygen balance in burn patients in the prognosis of the outcomes of burn disease].

In 85 patients with severe burns, the integral indices of oxygen balance were studied. Decrease in the index of oxygen flow, increase in the index of oxygen consumption, coefficient of oxygen extraction are prognostically unfavourable. Therapy at the acute period of burn disease should be directed at struggle against hypermetabolism.

[Therapeutic tactics in cold trauma].
