Management of burn convalescents medical treatment in health tourism system using sanatorium facilities

Aim: To determine the scientifically based tactics of rehabilitation of victims with burns and their consequences in sanatorium conditions. Materials and Methods: The methodological basis of the research is the basis of scientific dialectics. The main methods of research are bibliographic, informational, monitoring as well as watch and wait, diacrisis, clinical-functional, laboratory, instrumental and thermographic methods. An analysis of almost 30 years of own experience in medical rehabilitation of burn convalescents in clinical sanatorium «Avangard» was conducted. In total, about 8000 people aged 6 to 72 years completed rehabilitation treatment with good results. This positive clinical sanatorium «Avangard» experience results were shown in received data and different calculations described in this paper. Results: The different procedures of burn convalescents’ medical rehabilitation using experience and equipment of sanatorium and health tourism institutes is explored. The scientifically based tactics of rehabilitation of victims with burns and their consequences in sanatorium conditions are determined. The main health injuries of burn convalescents as well as methods of their treatment are systemized. The periods of medical rehabilitation of post-burn patients are clearly divided. The main indications and contraindications for rehabilitation of burn convalescents in sanatorium and health tourism are investigated. The main mandatory services for burn convalescents pathology treatment are systemized. Conclusions: The results obtained by applying rehabilitation measures at different stages in patients with thermal injuries indicate their effectiveness and feasibility of using them to optimize the course of the wound process, reduce the possibility of scar formation and early stabilization, and reduce the time of reconstructive surgery. The system of medical examination and surgical rehabilitation of patients with thermal injuries and their consequences allows solving the urgent problem of restoring various types of tissue defects, as well as deformities and contractures of joints, reducing the number of unsatisfactory results, improving the functional and cosmetic effect of treatment and improving the quality of life of the victims.
