[Prediction of cerebral disturbances in patients with thermal injury].

In spite of its utter importance, the problem of early prediction of cerebral disturbances (CD) in thermal injury (TI) has not been solved so far due to insufficient knowledge of the pathogenesis of neurological disturbances in burnt patients. Existing prognostic methods are based on the statistical analysis of data, and cannot be considered strictly scientific. The authors of the article offer a new method of prediction of neurological disturbances and the degree of CD in TI, based upon modern conception of the pathogenesis of nervous system lesion in these patients.
