[Review of sixty years of burn discipline in Shanghai Ruijin Hospital].

Abstract

Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to the Medical School of Shanghai Jiao Tong University is derived from the group of severe burn treatment in Surgical Department of Kuang-Ci Hospital in Shanghai in 1958. In three score years, they created and developed distinctive technologies in treatment of massive deep burns, including early eschar excision on deep burn wound by stages and batches, taking the scalp as a donor site, wound covering with the large sheet of allo- or xeno-skin graft with small holes covered by small pieces of autoskin, the Ruijin formula for fluid resuscitation in early stage post burn and the " hibernation remedy" , which achieved actual effects in clinic, and they summed up academically the experiences of their clinical practice and researches. These technologies with other creations by Chinese burn surgeons have been named as " Chinese method" of burn treatment.
