Do blood loss during extensive escharectomy and auto-microskin grafting in adult male major burn patients?
In this study the average calculated blood loss for the operation of extensive escharectomy and microskin graft in adult male major burn patient was 0.47 ml/cm2 (77.29 ml per 1% TBSA). This result will help us to predict expected blood loss more accurately.
The protective effect of preconditioning can be induced in pig skeletal muscle but at a higher threshold than reported previously in pig cardiac muscle (one cycle). Preconditioning of pig skeletal muscle is associated with a lower energy metabolism during sustained ischaemia. At the present time, it is not known if this energy sparing effect is a major mechanism of ischaemic preconditioning against infarction in skeletal muscles.
