fence Editor, The American Weekly.

Science Editor The American Weekly.
IRON the worldly wide battlefronts of this
IN global war and the tragedy OF burning
Y ships at sea, modern medicine has found
its greatest proving ground on which to test
many new burn treatments
often born of wars necessity and proved
in the flames OF combat these new ways Of
saving lives viii become one of the few good
things which will carry over from this conflict
into the later days OF peace.
Already war-learned burn discoveries are
saving many lives right here in America on
the home front The survivors OF Boston's
nightclub FIRE know this best of all.
In this war, that runs on oil and gasoline
stalks the menace of fire.
One thinks of Pearl Harbor and December
Z 1941, as n rain of bombs from the sky, and
the blowing up OF battleships, airplane hangers
and naval supplies. There was danger in the
air all right but the biggest danger came not
from bombs but from the fires which those
bombs created.
According TO Dr. Henry A. Harkins in the
Journal OF the American Medical Association
60 per cent of the casualties at Pearl Harbor
were due to burns
Indeed in modern warfare burns are one
Of the major ways OF injuring your enemy
You rain incendiary bombs down upon his
cities create explosions in his planes. his air
craft carriers and ships. You start fires and
let them be your ally.
Sailors on oil tankers and plane carriers
know this and have their own grim joke about
IT, They say you have your choice If tor
pedoed don't wear life jacket and drown, or
put on a life preserver and burn TO death in
a sea of flaming oil. It's not quite as bad as
that, but that gives the idea
All experts agree that the biggest danger
in cases OF severe burns is shock. This fact
will explain some Of the grim pictures
which came out Of the Boston fire the rows
Of burned victims lying the sidewalk, the
street or in a nearby garage.
A first glance at such pictures seems to re-
veal the total lack Of antiseptic treatment in
this emergency and makes one wonder if
doctors and nurses could be SO stupid
The answer is that these victims were get
ting shock treatment on the spot because that
was by far the most critical thing the matter
with them.
As Or Harllins discloses in his recent re-
port the first thing to do with n severe
burn is TO give general treatment for shock,
and after that treat the burn He says:
The first of these is probably more inn
portant than the second, as it is of little avail
to have a well-dressed burn and dead pa
tient"
Shock. it is estimated produces from so TO
- per cent Of all deaths following burns.
Shock is caused in cases of severe burns
because Of the great loss Of blood plasma,
loss that may amount to from two to three
quarts Of plasma in extreme cases.

SPRAYS of little worth for the phosphorus
burns produced by incendary bombs Often
these burns are very deep, for the pellets of
flaming phosphorus are driven deep into the
skin.
Another place where fannie acid spray is
not advised (counter-indicated as the doctors
say is for burns of the kind that the crews
Of tankers suffer when they have TO swim
through blazing oil or grease.
that it forms tough coating over the burn
but coating through which infection all
too-readily enters.
Along with cuts and falls, burns form one
of the greatest causes of home injuries Every
one ought to know what to do for burns in
an emergency and for fire in the home, too.
Rule One-and the rule NOT remembered
at most civilian fires-is avoid panic. If
your clothing or hair are afire don't run That
only fans the flames. Lie down roll on the
floor and smother the fire in rug or blanket.
Rule Two-when safety is attained, is TO
cover the burned areas with wet dressings OF
baking soda. Avoid grease or oils If possible.
Your first aid kit ought TO contain sterile
picric acid gauze. Use it.
Rule Three-for all severe burns. is TO call
a doctor because of the hazard Of shock.
While the doctor is coming treat the patient
for shock II needed Keep him warm, keep
IL you give stimulants. remember that
they are useful only for mild shock and Of

Here is the treat
ment:
Clothing is removed
from the victim under
a morphine anesthetic
if n c C e ssary. The
burn is then cleaned
under sterile condi-
tons. Plasma injec-
tions are given TO
prevent shock, and
injections of adrenal
cortex to prevent adj
ditional plasma loss.
Oxygen is admins
tered if breathing and
respiration are low.
Then, for the first
day, the burns are
sprayed with the

sulfadiazine solution every hour.
After each application the is
dried with warm air from an
electric hair drier.
The next day the treatment is given every
two hours. on the third day every three
hours, and on the fourth day four hours. All
the time the patient lies in a heat cradle" at
a temperature of 90 degrees.
After "a hours of this treatment a thin
the burn Eschar is just the medical term for
the slough Of dead tissue that forms in a
burned area
Once the eschar is formed-it can be
thought Of as a special kind of scab over the
burn there is seldom need for sedatives. At
no time dressings needed on the burn
At the end Of the tenth to twelfth day the
edges Of the eschar begin to peel up and doc
tors must watch for possible infections which
might enter the body through this portal If
infections come, and they are rare, wet dress
ings of the sulfadiazine triethanolamde solu-
ton are applied.
DR. Rothman and his colleagues report
that out of 50 patients treated in this way 80
have recovered Two died in secondary shock
in the first 40 hours.
All these cases were severe burns Of the
second or third degree The smallest region
burned in any patient was 10 per cent of the
body area, equal, say. to the enti c head and
both the hands. Some patients had burns over
40 per cent of their bodies.

Indeed, it is be-
cause plasma is so
widely needed for all
types of shock in this
war torn world that
the nation-wi blood
donations have been
carried on. Only a
small fraction of this
blood is used as whole
blood.
With much of il,
the plasma is sepa-
rated from the whole
blood and dried into a
powder. In this last
ing form it is shipped
TO the battlefronts, or
stored for air raids or
other disasters.
Doctors agree that

mic acid spray, Gentian violet dye waXed
paper and oil silk envelopes to the new sufa
drugs
Typical Of new methods is the use Of 25
per cent concentration of the drug sulfadia-
zine in an per cent solution OF the chemical
known as triethanolamine. DR. K. L. Pickrell
of Johns Hopkins Hospital first announced
this treatment just before Pearl Harbor and
a whole series of clinical cases have very re-

over the burn (the eschar) occurs promptly
and prevents pain and the need for frequent
dressings. Moist congresses can stop nfec-
tons if they occur about the tenth day Finally.
the spray is harmless to the face, the mouth,
the eyes, joints or the fingers.
In England. where ncendiary bombs have
rained from the skies by the hundreds Of
thousands, doctors have had more experience
in treating burns in the last two years than
in the previous 20 years.
In England a favored treatment is that
discovered by Surgeon Lieutenant Commander
John Bunyan of the Royal Navy.
Dr. Bunyan wraps the burns in special oil
silk envelops with inlets and outlets TO permit
irrigation with a solution Of sodium hypochlor-
ite. Once the dressing is placed it need not
be changed. Any possible site of infection can
easily be seen through the oiled silk coating.
one great claim for the Bunyan method is
that no case treated in this way will develop
more than mild infection, whether or not
the burned area has been cleaned in an op.
Grating room. It's merits under combat con-
ditions are understandable.
Out of this war it is expected that still
better burn treatments viii come The oil silk
envelop treatment Is one stlfa drugs are an
other. Already II has been found that the
previous standard treatment-the fannie acid

dom needed. In most cases
blood volume, and not the
red cells, needs to be re-
stored. That is the value of
plasma. Moreover, plasma
can be administered without
regard to ones blood type.
When plasma is given in
hospitals all manner Of pre-
cautions are taken, but in
ready-at-hand first-aid treat
ment OF the kind burn VIC
tins often need urgently,
there is a rough rule which
works very well.
AS far back as 1924 DR..
S. G.. Berkow announced that
the body needed so cubic
centimeters of plasma (about
four-fifths of an ouncel for
every per cent OF body sur
face burned.
Thus the head equals 6
per cent of the body surface
area. Two hands comprise
Az per cent, the anterior
portion Of the trunk 20 per
cent, while the entire trunk
back and front, equals 3S per
cent of the bodys area.
In terms of Or. Berkow's
rule a head burn means that
300 cubic centimeters Of
plasma are needed TO replace
plasma already lost. Plasma
is lost because ii seeps from
the blood vessels into the
burned area and from there
is extruded from the surface
of the burn.
On the home front women
often suffer worse than men
in fires. Their flimsy cloth
ing becomes a flaming torch
and they may be burned over
500 and more of their bodies.
In such cases plasma injec-
tions in large amounts may
be needed.
After the danger Of shock
has been overcome doctors
can get on with the task
Of treating the burns TO heal
the area with a minimum
OF infection.
Or. Harkins, surgeon at
Henry Ford Hospital in De-
troit, lists some,75 different
treatments for burns. They
range all the way from tan
