Study protocol for all patients (N = 24) who underwent total burn wound excision within 48 hours of admission and were given 0.9% normal saline during study period I. Blood samples were taken 5 days after the operation (D 5 I). Patients were then randomized to the treatment with continuous intravenous infusion of either IGF-I/BP-3 (n = 17) or 0.9% NaCl (n = 7) for approximately 5 days after excision and grafting. Prior to (OP II) and 5 days after the second operative procedure (D 5 II) blood was again drawn.
