I.T.T. in the first 24 hours resulted in hemodynamic stabilization on the background of cardiac glucosides administration. The authors succeeded in taking 69% of burnt patients out of shock state. I.T.T. in the period of acute burn toxaemia (in 169) and septicotoxaemia (in 184) was directed to the struggle against intoxication, anaemia, hypo and dysproteinaemia. To tear away necrotic tissues proteolytic ferments were used, 10%> solution of urea, laserotherapy, propolis ointment and me-tallocomplexes. 409 patients were operated. Out of 72 persons died (17,6%)
