Cause of death from burns

Abstract

Based on 5 clinical observations and 5 experimental studies, Olbrycht (according to the ref. In "Gig. Labor", 1925, 10) comes to the conclusion that the complete or significant disappearance of epinephrine from the adrenal glands plays an important role in the origin of death from burns. turn, is in connection with the decomposition of proteins in the burnt tissue. Hence, the treatment of burns should be aimed at the speedy elimination of dead tissue and stimulation of the adrenal glands by introducing significant doses of epinephrine.
