TREATMENT OF BURNS OF THERMAL ORIGIN

TREATMENT OF BURNS OF THERMAL ORIGIN Abstract During the past three years the literature on the treatment of burns has been prolific.

Abstract During the past three years the literature on the treatment of burns has been prolific. Most of the articles have dealt with some one phase of the subject.

In addition, it undertakes to discuss other important factors concerned in the clinical management from the time of the accident to eventual cure or death.
