Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Burn injuries are among the most destructive of all injuries and a major global public health problem. The pathological changes produced in the circulatory and respiratory systems are complex, and failure to understand their progress and therapeutic management can cause the patient further problems. It is well known that a severely burned patient presents the greatest dysregulation of homeostasis of any injury. The study was conducted to study the haematological changes in thermal burn patients and the relation of haematological changes to the management strategy and outcome of treatment. A Cross-sectional study was conducted in 50 patients of thermal burn admitted in the Burn Ward of M.B. Govt. Hospital, R.N.T. Medical College, Udaipur during the year 2014-16. The patient’s detailed clinical history and examination was done according to proforma. All the patients were examined and underwent routine and hematological investigations. Haemoglobin and haematocrit showed progressive decrease after the initial increase. The total leukocyte count increased initially after burn. Those patients corrected hematological disorder shows improvement in mobidity and less mortality. Therefore it is emphasized that hematological disorder after thermal burn should be corrected to decrease morbidity and mortality.
