Title: Clinical observation on analgesic and hemostatic effects of Lidocaine gelatin fleece on wounds of skin grafts
Abstract: Objective:To observe the analgesic and hemostatic effects of 20%-Lidocaine gelatin fleece on traumatic bleeding after dermatoplasty.Methods:26 burn patients undertaking dermatoplasty were randomly divided into two groups, A and B.In Group A, 20%-Lidocaine gelatin fleece was used while vaseline gauze was applied to Group B. The two materials were put on the wounds after skin grafts were taken.Then pressure hemostasis was performed.The hemostatic effect was observed and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was adopted to evaluate the analgesic effect 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32 and 36 hours after dermatoplasty.Results:In Group A, the average amount of bleeding was less than that in Group B; the scores of pain were lower in Group A than in Group B at different time points. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (P0.01).Conclusions:20%- Lidocaine gelatin fleece had not only better hemostatic effect but also better sustainable release analgesic effect over vaseline gauze.
