Abstract :
The authors present a comparative study of the responses of burn patients to different reanimation treatments, one of them designed by experimental and clinical methods, and another one (BET) designed by digital simulation in a burn injury simulator. The alterations of the capillary dynamics and the therapeutics after the burn injury are analyzed with the mathematical model. The optimum treatment described in this report was superior in all trials. The authors conclude that BET can be used advantageously in burn patient shock stage in order to minimize complications.<>
