Abstract
Cases of cold injury (847) occurred within 2 wk during the Indo-Pakistan conflict in Kashmir in Dec. 1971. The management of these cases and their end results were described. A combination of drugs consisting of low-MW dextran, an anti-inflammatory agent, and a vasodilator was tried with encouraging results. A conservative attitude towards ablation of necrosed tissues yielded good results.
