Use of heparin in burns management.

Burn studies in humans and animals that have tested large doses of heparin topically and parenterally have produced significant therapeutic results. Relieved pain, enhanced healing, and smooth skin were findings. Fewer resuscitation fluids, fewer lung and intestinal complications, and fewer infections were reported. These burn studies revealed that heparin had anti-inflammatory, neoangiogenic, collagen-restoring, and epithelialising effects in addition to its anti-coagulating effects.
