The phosphorous burn--a preliminary comparative experimental study of various forms of treatment

A Eldad et al. Burns. 1991 Jun.

Abstract

White phosphorous burns were inflicted on 44 Wistar (CR) rats. All animals of the control (C1) group (untreated white phosphorous burns) died within 48 h while those of the control (C2) group (wound only, no white phosphorous burns) survived at least 6 days. Copper sulphate, either as a solution or as an emulsion, proved lethal even without white phosphorous burns. Water irrigation alone proved to be a life-saving procedure for the white phosphorous burned rats.
