| dc.description.abstract | This is a descriptive study carried out at Kenyatta National Hospital to
estimate blood loss per one percent of total body surface area excised and
grafted in bum patients. The study was done from November 2003 to April
2004.
Total of fifty-three adult patients were selected and haemoglobin
concentration was measured preoperatively and post operatively fourty-eight
hours after surgery. Estimated blood lass calculated according to Snelling
and Shaw formula, which is based on, that of Mollison (1979).
The average value for blood loss was 170mls per percent bum excised and
grafted. There was no statistical difference between males and females for
bum excised and grafted. These finding do not apply to either very young or
the very old and those patients who have bleeding disorder
This figure will give guide for adequate estimation of the amount of blood
needed by bum patient during skin excision and grafting | en |
