Abstract:
Objective To assess the possibility of the transportation of patients with critical burns during shock stage. Method Data on 9 groups (63 cases) of critical burn patients, who were transferred to burn unit in 48 hours after injury, were collected and analyzed during recent 5 years. Results All of the 63 patients were transported stably and successfully. Sixty-one of them were cured and 2 were died of multiple system organ failure at the 9th and the 19th day post burn, respectively. Conclusions On principle, anti-shock treatment of the critical burn patients should be initiated immediately on the spot before transportation. For the hospitals with limited medical resources, however, it is necessary to transfer the patients to the specialized burn units with speedy and smooth vehicles after rapid fluid resuscitation, and fluid transfusion must be carried out simultaneously during transportation.
