To measure skin temperature two noninvasive methods--skin thermometry and digital volume rheography--are used in 42 children with burns. Two types of anesthesia are applied. In 21 children analgesia is attained by general inhalatory anesthesia with halothane, nitrous oxide and oxygen at controlled ventilation, and in the remainder--by intravenous anesthesia with fractionated ketamine at spontaneous respiration. For statistical reasons the duration of study is 120 minutes. Comparative assessment of the two procedures is done, and correlative dependences between the respective indicators are found. For the purpose regression equations are suggested.
