Abstract

The gastrointestinal tract was examined in 56 dogs during burn shock (over 72 hours after injury). It was shown that burn shock entails acute catarrhal or erosive gastroenterocolitis at the basis of which there lie microcirculatory disorders and the decreased content of the "protective mucus" (glycosaminoglycans) in the integumentary epithelium. Combined therapy that normalizes primarily the circulatory channel and output of glycosaminoglycans leads to the reduction of the intensity of the above-mentioned processes in the gastrointestinal wall and prevents, to an appreciable degree, the development of erosive and ulcerous lesions.
