TREATING BURNS

Another first alder said in an
swer TO a question: I'm case Of
asphyxia, remove distractions
from the mouth, such as the
tongue" In case of a fire, put
il out" In case of a bleeding
head wound, put a tourniquet
around the neck"
/ am inclined to believe that
the most frequent wound that
VIII occur IN civilian practice
during the emergency will be
burn, and I am also inclined to
believe that most burns should
be left TO professional first aid
teams.
Certainly the best thing TO do
for a person with a burn of any
extent is TO wrap him in a
blanket and convey him as
gently as possible to a hospital
for emergency treatment.
KINDS OF BURNS
A burn is two or three kinds
OF liability. In the first place,
it is an open wound that may
become infected.
Most burns are contaminated
because they are exposed to the
air, to people lowering over
them. allowing bacteria from the
uncovered nose and throat to
fall upon them and not infre-
quently they are grossly infected
with home remedies that are
supposed TO be antiseptic in
nature.
Prevention OF infection is
probably the most important
single factor in the treatment of
burns. For that reason cover
the patient up with even a rea-
sonably clean blanket or sheet
and take him TO a hospital
where surgical team in mask.
gown and rubber gloves can
handle the wound.
GREASE DRESSING
For long time the standard
treatment for burns was TO
cover them with sterile oil or
sterile grease. Lately / under
stand in some places this treat
men thas been criticized.
Yet l heard one of the most
prominent surgeons in Boston,
who has had a large experience
with burns. say in a talk that he
believed he would rather have
his burns covered with sterile
vaselin or sterile grease than
anything he knew of.
He preferred a grease dress
ing to the use of tannic acid and
the various sulfa drugs. There
fore, the best treatment for a
small, burn is simply 10 cover
1t with sterile piece of gauze
until a surgeon is available.
In large burns the second liza
bility which occurs is the loss
of blood plasma from the open
wound. This causes diminished
blood volume, decreased heart
output. stagnation of the circu-
lation and the whole picture of
what is called thermal shock.
This can be treated by a blood
or plasma tranfusion.

CHICAGO, Aug 8.-One Of tbs
questions which puzzles livestock

The complicating factor is not 50

and ranches, but how well these,
cattle are going to be fed. The
longer they are fed, the more they
weigh, and consequentially the more,
beef they produce. Z
