Abstract:
:The initial care of burn wounds and choice of dressing are pivotal to optimally support the healing process. To ensure fast re-epithelialisation within 10-14 days and prevent complications, an optimal healing environment is essential. An innovative dressing based on nanocellulose was used for the treatment of burns in children. Children (0-16 years) with clean, partial-thickness burn wounds, 1 to 10% of the total body surface area were included. Complete re-epithelialisation was achieved within 7-17 days, with 13 patients showing re-epithelialised >95% by day 10. Satisfying results concerning time to re-epithelialisation and material handling were obtained. The possibility to leave the dressing on the wounds for 7 days showed a positive effect in the treatment of children, for whom every hospital visit may cause massive stress reactions. The nanocellulose-based dressing is a promising tool in conservative treatment of burns. Reducing the frequency of dressing changes supports a fast and undisturbed recovery; moreover, the dressing provides an optimal moist healing environment. The time to re-epithelialisation is comparable to frequently used materials, and cost reduction effect can be achieved without loss of quality. Possible pain and distress levels are kept to a minimum; therefore, flexibility and compliance of the patients and their parents are enhanced.
