Evaluation of the functional state of erythrocytes in burn patients by erythrocyte sedimentation under compression

Research Institute for Traumatology and Orthopaedy

 Nizhny Novgorod, Russia

 Earlier in vitro investigations showed that erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in the blood of healthy people accelerates at/after compression, the effect being less pronounced in burn patients. These features of ESR can be used to optimize the concentrations of ozone in physiologic saline widely employed for the treatment of burn patients. The concentration [Оз]=1000 mkg/l achieved under compression is sufficient to normalize ESR of burn patients.
