ANAESTHESIA IN SECONDARY TREATMENT OF BURN INJURIES Biljana Stosic, Radmilo Jankovic, Milan Radojkovic and Zoran Rancic Surgical Clinic Clinical Center, Nis The task of anesthesiologist in burns' dressing is to remove pain during burns' management. Extensive burns, covering over 15 % of TBS, demand dressing changes every 48 hours and sometimes more often, which depends on wound secretions. High number of anesthesias is administered to the same patient in a short period of time.Which anesthesia technique we chose in our Center depends of the patient's condition, burns wound evaluation and available anesthetics.
