[An analysis of death in older burn patients].
Between August 1976 and July 1986, 110 burn patients over the age of sixty-five were admitted to the Burn Unit of Ruijin Hospital. The average extent of burn was 19.9% TBSA (0.5-90%), with 14.7% full thickness (0.5-90%). ⋯ The analysis of causes of death in elderly burn patients suggested that the preexisting cardiopulmonary diseases and inhalation injury appeared particularly important since pneumonia was considered as a primary cause of death in 13 patients, myocardial infarction in 2, congestive heart failure in 2. The resuscitation, early excision of deep burn wound and grafting, prevention and treatment of other complications, and nutritional supplement can decrease the mortality of elderly burn patients.
