The experience in medical care and treatment of burned patients showed that adequate anti-shock infusion therapy can be established only 4-6 hours after the sustained trauma. However, even despite such a delay, many burned patients (75-80%) get well, due to the later adequate complex treatment controlled by experienced burn specialists [correction of combustiologists] in hospital units specially organized and equipped for this category of patients. Within the first 2-4 days after the trauma, it is recommended to distribute major accident victims between different specialized burn units, using specially equipped air and motor transportation vehicles.

Histological and histochemical research methods were used to examine the healing of burn wounds treated under bandage and in monitored abacterial environment (open type treatment). Biopsies of burn wounds were investigated in 40 patients. It was shown that upon the treatment in abacterial environment the wound heal 10-12 days more rapidly as compared to those treated under bandage. Upon open type treatment there was an early appearance of fine granulations with marked macrophagal and fibroblast reactions, whereas under bandage there formed edematic granulations with high content of lymphoid and plasma cells.

Under observation were 102 burned patients with different degrees of injuries treated under conditions of the laminar flow of sterile air without dressing. The results obtained were compared with those obtained in the similar group of patients treated by a traditional dressing method. The abacterial medium with controlled humidity and temperature was established to exercise a favourable effect on homeostasis and such stages of the burn disease as shock and toxemia.
