Heparin Therapy for Burns

FOR DOCTORS ONLY

ALL DOCTORS CAN NOW TREAT BURNS WITH HEPARIN
PATIENTS RECEIVE PROMPT TREATMENT BY THEIR PRIMARY DOCTORS.
PEDIATRICIANS, FAMILY DRS, INTERNISTS, ALL SPECIALISTS AND ER DOCTORS

When your burned patient in much pain seeks your help, and you drip or spray heparin solution on the painful raw burn surface, the pain will be relieved within a few minutes, and the angry redness will blanche. Then, when you insert heparin solution into painful blisters and rinse the blister with the heparin solution, the blister pain will be relieved in less than a minute. The burn surface and blisters will not be as warm. Your patient and you will recognize that you have initiated prompt effective therapy. You will not need to administer any ‘pain medicine’. Heparin stopped pain and initiated burn therapy. In fact 3 of the 4 four signs of inflammation (pain, redness, and heat) will be gone.

If and when the patient’s burn surface pain returns in a lesser amount after a variable period of time, retreatment of the less painful burn surface by dripping or spraying heparin on the burn surface will again relieve the pain. With continued use of heparin, the 4th sign of inflammation, namely swelling, that is common to burns not treated with heparin will be much less. It may be absent. Heparin stops burn inflammation. And with less swelling, there will be little or no need for surgical incisions to relieve pressure in swollen tissue compartments.

For patients who additionally have a vague deeper pain, intravenous infusion of heparin solution rapidly relieves the pain and blanches the erythema if it is present. Subcutaneous deposit of heparin solution into fat more slowly relieves the pain and blanches erythema.

No pain medicine will be needed. Unlike burned patients who receive sedating pain medicine, like morphine, heparin treated patients are comfortable, awake, alert, without depression of respirations or intestinal movements. Patients have less or no swelling. They are able to drink fluids and to eat. They are able to be more physically active and even to assist with their treatment. (See Protocol Link for details of Method. See Case Studies pictures to see patients’ condition.)

WITH CONTINUED USE OF HEPARIN, ACCORDING TO THE PROTOCOL THE OTHER BENEFITS WILL BE OBSERVED.
ALL OTHER TREATMENT METHODS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH INITIAL USE OF HEPARIN, INCLUDING SURGERY, slightly delayed in lesser amount when needed and when necessary.

ALL DOCTORS CAN INITIALLY SEE THEIR BURNED PATIENTS AND LATER WHEN NECESSARY REFER THEIR PATIENTS TO BURN SPECIALISTS. Plastic surgeons do the plastic surgery when needed, which is the most efficient use of their time and talents and hence they are not burdened with the early burn care.

Adding heparin improves treatment, reduces procedures, and makes cost affordable and sustainable. Use of heparin first reduces and avoids the loss of blood common with use of surgery first to remove most or all of the burned tissue and place skin substitute or skin grafts. With little or no loss of blood, there is little or no need for blood transfusions, and no danger of transmitting disease through blood, such as AIDS. With early first use of heparin the burn wound site is ideally prepared with richly vascular granulation tissue most favorable for placing skin grafts with a higher % of the successful graft ‘take’.
With continued use of heparin topically into healing the skin cosmetic results are much improved, usually void of scars and contractures. (See Science of Heparin Use.)

Adding heparin to burn treatment has made treatment of burns affordable worldwide.

SUMMARY FOR DOCTORS

Heparin is precise therapy for the concise pathology of burns. The known sequential multiple burn-pathology stages and the sequential known multiple heparin properties-and-effects healing stages are a perfect therapeutic match. Similarly heparin is a therapeutic match for the pathology stages of chronic wounds and difficult to treat chronic skin problems. Burn Pathology Phases involve:
(1) sluggish blood flow with coagulation, infarctions, emboli, and DIC;
(2) cascading tissue-destructive inflammation;
(3) ischemia and gangrene;
(4) delayed and deficient granulation
(5) inadequate replacement of collagen and smooth muscle and skin tissue-cells, and
(6) disrupted epithelialization with scars and contractures.

Heparin’s matching Therapeutic Effects are
(1) anticoagulating;
(2) anti-inflammatory;
(3) neoangiogenic-revascularizing
(4) collagen restoring-regulating,
(5) smooth muscle cell and dermal cell stimulating-regulating; and
(5) epithelializing with dermal cells that results in smooth skin consistently void of scars or contractures. Heparin effects and properties therapeutically stops, reverses, corrects, favorably alters, stimulates, replaces, regulates, and heals the corresponding matching burn pathology phases.

Heparin use first, when not contraindicated, is compatible with other therapy methods, including surgery - slightly delayed, in less quantity, under more favorable conditions.

Heparin produces richly-vascular granulation tissue ideal for successful skin grafting or skin cell implant with the patients own cultured skin cells. The initial nearly total surgical resection of the burn under anesthesia via intubation, with blood loss and transfusions is not necessary. Using heparin first, the patients are not toxic, mortality is not increased – it is decreased, blood loss and transfusions are eliminated, much medical healing of burns is achieved, and the need to cover the denuded area with skin grafts or artificial membranes is often avoided.

Healing is complete in many patients with use of heparin alone, especially in children. Patients requiring surgery or in cases where surgery is desirable can still have surgery by stopping heparin for 1 to 2 days, or rarely 3 days until Blood Clotting Times return to the normal range.

Heparin is ideal for use in one burned person or the many burned in Thermal Disasters. In a thermal disaster, heparin sprayed on burns and in blisters would cost-effectively promptly relieve pain, stop inflammation, and initiate affordable therapy as a first-response workable treatment, where no cost-effective therapy is now available.
