Abstract

V originále

Background and Objective: The not quite rare occurrence of inaccurate clinical diagnoses of burns in early post-burn days leads to an inappropriate conservative treatment strategy, or unnecessary surgery. LDI (Laser Doppler Imaging) objectively evaluatesskin blood circulation, which correlates with the depth of the burn and the length of healing. The aim of this work was to suggest cutoff values for detecting burns without healing potential within 3 weeks, which should have undergone surgery. Method: The burned area's average blood perfusion of 148 burns was measured on 115 patients, using the Laser Doppler Imager PIM III. A total of 268 measurements were performed from the one to the ninth post-burn day (PBD). The perfusion values were compared to the healing time or histology in the case of the surgical treatment. Cutoff values indicating surgery were investigated in various post-burn days; the ROC analysis was used. Results: This work suggest statistically significant increasing cu
