Studies in the Post Traumatic Patient:Sodium Balance Studies, Nitrogen Utilisation, Fat Absorption, Ascorbic Acid Requirement

摘要

The studies detailed in this report have been performed on patients admitted to the Plastic Surgery Service. With one exception, the patients have been under the age of twelve years, and all patients had sustained moderate to severe burning injury. During the year, techniques have been adapted, or improved, in the light of experience. A broad picture emerges or the response of children to this type of injury.nMetabolic balance studies have been undertaken on eight children and one adult. The injury in each case has been a burn or scald of varying extent and depth.
