Title: Clinical application of sterile biological films in treatment of pediatric superficial II burn wounds
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of sterile biological films in treatment of pediatric superficial Ⅱ burn wounds. Methods Fifty cases of inpatients with superficial Ⅱ burns in department of burn surgery in Changhai hospital from July 2010 to June 2012 were included in this study and divided into 2 groups on the basis of treatment methods. The burn wounds in the treatment group were covered with sterile biological film and those in the control group were managed with SD-Ag. The healing time,recovering rate,the frequency of dressing changes,the frequency of changing the inner most layer gauze and the rate of infection of wounds were measured. Meanwhile,the laboratory abnormalities and adverse effect were regularly monitered during the treatment. Results Compared with the control group,thetreatment group exhibited a significantly shorter healing time (9. 84±1. 42) d vs (11. 89±1. 78) d,P0. 05) . The treatment group also had higher recovering rates (59. 38± 8. 21) % vs (52. 11±11. 10) % , (98. 88±3. 06) % vs (89. 94±6. 20) %,P0. 05 respectivelyon the 7th and 11th day after treatment. Moreover,sterile biological films also resulted in significantly reduced dressing changes and the innermost layer changes (3. 88±0. 98 vs 7. 83±1. 10,0. 38±0. 49 vs 6. 83±1. 10,P0. 05 respectively) . However,the outcomes of bacterial culture were not significantly different between the two groups. There was no direct relationship between the laboratory abnormalities and the therapeutic measures during the study, and most patients had no uncomfortable chief complaint. Conclusion Sterile biological films can shorten the healing time,improve healing rate,decrease frequency of dressing change,alleviate patients' pain and promote wound healing for superficial Ⅱ burn wound in pediatric patients.
