Abstract
Haemostatic debridement, recombinant-human erythropoietin and cultured epithelial autografts have been used successfully in a Jehovah's Witn ess with a major burn injury. Tourniquet ischaemia complemented by a t opical haemostatic agent minimized excisional blood loss, while recomb inant-human erythropoietin accelerated erythropoiesis, thereby correct ing postburn anaemia. Cultured epithelial autografts provided coverage of the granulating wounds without creating donor sites.
