Abstract

After an experimental burn covering 30% of the body surface, rats were treated by an association of HBO, THAM, and penicillin-colimycin. The following parameters were measured on the 3rd, 8th, 24th hour and the 3rd and 7th day: total body water (TBW), circulating blood volume, large vessel hematocrit, circulating red cell volume, circulating plasma volume, plasma sodium and potassium concentrations, pH and pCO2 and PO2. The results were compared to those found in control burned rats. Despite early changes, the treated animals had an accelerated recovery of their biological parameters.
