- Abstract
The authors discuss evaluation of the severity of fatty embolism. Three criteria are taken into consideration: clinical symptoms, presence of fat in the serum or liquor, and presence of fat on the surface of serum or liquor. The broth symptom is defined. The studies indicate that after detection of this symptom microscopy of the serum for detecting fatty globulemia is inefficient.
