How is heparin used to treat burns

Details:

Burn is a kind of wound that is very difficult to treat, with complex local and systemic pathology. The mortality rate is very high because the wound heals very slowly with scars and contractures. The degree of burn varies with the temperature and the duration of the burn. Local changes can be divided into four degrees. During burn, the amount of lactic acid in blood increased, the pH value of arterial and venous blood decreased, and hypoxemia increased with the aggravation of tissue capillary dysfunction. Clinical experience has proved that when the burn reaches more than one third of the total body surface area, it can be life-threatening.

Heparin powder

At present, there are many drugs for treating burns in clinical medicine. Studies have found that heparin can be used to treat burns, and the effect is remarkable. Heparin is a variety of compounds, with anti-inflammatory, anti allergic, anti histamine, anti serotonin and anti proteolytic enzyme properties. These characteristics may stimulate tissue repair and re epithelialization. It has been used to treat extragastrointestinal and local forms of heat injury to prevent burn expansion, limit skin tissue loss, relieve pain, inhibit coagulation and inflammation, restore blood flow and promote healing, and the healed skin is smooth.

Heparin can reduce the demand for painkillers, local antibiotics, resuscitation fluid, blood, water bath, debridement, surgery and grafts. Because the price of heparin is relatively low, it is easy to obtain materials, the cost of treatment is also reduced, and it has no effect on systemic treatment, so it is a highly respected treatment drug. Although heparin has many advantages in treating burns, it also has some side effects. Its potential side effects are bleeding, thrombocytopenia and allergy. Therefore, when choosing drugs, we should also take drugs according to our own situation and the doctor's advice.
