Effectiveness of the recombinant human erythropoietin application in the anemia treatment of the burned patient.
Abstract
A longitudinal and experimental clinical test was carried out in a group of patients with anemia that received treatment with heberitro in plastic surgery and caumatology service from general university hospital Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola in Ciego de Ávila, between January 2008 and January 2010 with the aim to determing the effectiveness of the Recombinant Human Erythropoietin application in the anemia treatment of the burned patient. The greater number of patients was registered in the ages between 30-34 years, predominating feminine sex. Patients reported very serious condition constituted most of the treated patients. The Heberitro dose increased in statistically significant way (p<0.05) the numbers of Hematocrit and Hemoglobin in the totality of cases and most of the cases required less red globule transfusion. Significant adverse events with the use of Heberitro were not reported. The average Hospital stay diminished.Downloads
