Abstract
From 1983-1988, 20 cases of extensive burns were administered Splenico-Stomachictonic to regulate gastrointestinal function. The burns were above 80% total body surface area and/or third degree burn area above 50%. 18 cases of the same conditions in the same period served as the control. After 10 days, the therapeutic group had a total effective rate of 95%, and the control group had a total effective rate of 67% (P less than 0.05). The marked efficiency of the therapeutic group was 75% and the control group was 38% (P less than 0.05). The survival rate of the therapeutic group was 65% and the control group was 33%. These results suggested that the traditional Chinese Splenico-Stomachictonic medicine could bring to the extensive burn patients good gastrointestinal function, which helps improve nutritional status.
