title: [Treatment of thermal burns in children].
abstract: Observations over 1,386 children aged from 2 days to 14 years who were treated for fresh burns at the department for purulent surgery at the Tver Regional Hospital are analysed. Patients of the younger (up to 3 years) age group prevailed (68%). The burns were superficial in 960 (69.3%) and deep in 426 (30.7%) children. In 175 (12.6%) children more than 10% of the body surface were involved in a deep burn. The authors suggest a complex of therapeutic and tactic measures which made it possible to reduce the total mortality from 7.2 to 0.9% and mortality due to deep burns from 14.5 to 3%.
