Air Fluidized Support System in the Management of Major Burns

Thirty-two patients with major burns over the back of trunk and limbs were treated on the Air fluidized support system (Clinitron) and the results were compared with a control group of patients treated on conventional beds. It was found that in the group treated on Clinitron bed, mortality was lower, graft take was better, pressure sores did not develop and the patients were more comfortable. The results have been compared to similar studies. Though the initial investment and maintenance cost is very high, the device offers immense benefits, especially ease in nursing care.
