OBJECTIVE: To further study the relationship between hemor rheologic changes and fluid resuscitation in patients with burn and treatment of anemia after burns. METHODS: 238 case of burn patients were divided into four groups. In which patients with major burn were allocated to group C and D according to different methods of fluid resuscitation and treatment of anemia. RESULTS: Abnormal hemorrheologic parameters could be corrected when transfusion of fresh whole blood and traditional herb medicines were given within 24-48 hours after burn injury. CONCLUSION: Dynamic observation of hemorrheologic changes is one of important index in monitoring burn shock and guiding fluid resuscitation. Blood transfusion and traditional medicine can improve abnormal blood rheologic parameters, effectively correct anemia when given early.
