[Autologous blood transfusion in surgical treatment of deep burns and their sequelae].

The experience of the treatment of 74 burned cases by means of autotransfusion is presented. The application of autotransfusion made it possible to rule out donor blood transfusions in surgical treatment of a considerable group of the burned. There are grounds to believe that different variants of this method will be widely practised in specialized medical installations dealing with the treatment of the burned and with reconstructive surgery.
