METHODS 238 case of burn patients were divided into four groups. In which patients with major burn were allocated to group C and D according to different methods of fluid resuscitation and treatment of anemia. RESULTS Abnormal hemorrheologic parameters could be corrected when transfusion of fresh whole blood and traditional herb medicines were given within 24-48 hours after burn injury.
