PREVENTION OF GASTROINTESTINAL COMPLICATIONS IN SEVERELY BURNED PATIENTS
Abstract
Abstract: The course of burn disease is often complicated by the formation of erosive and ulcerative defects of the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum. At the same time, erosions and ulcers of the upper parts of the gastrointestinal tract in burned people cannot be considered solely as the inevitability of severe burn injury. In the structure of morbidity, the frequency of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer varies from 6 to 8 %. Among them, every tenth patient undergoes surgical interventions due to complications of this disease. With such a wide prevalence of peptic ulcer disease, people suffering from this pathology are highly likely to be among the victims who have suffered a burn injury. Questions related to the peculiarities of examination and treatment of patients with a combination of ulcerative and burn diseases are reflected in the medical literature in individual publications, largely remain unanswered and for these reasons are of special scientific and practical interest.
