Abstract

Decreased red cell filtrability is often found after burning injury and a humoral mechanism is probably involved. The implications of lowered cell deformability in the lowered supply of oxygen to the burn wound are stressed. Stasis predisposes the red cell to ultimate destruction and possible therapeutic measures to prevent the loss of cell membrane elasticity are suggested.
