A developed treatment method for superficial and partial thickness localized burns: Clinical and morphological assessment

Abstract

Objectives to prove the effectiveness of the new developed method of treatment of patients with localized superficial and partial thickness burns (gel and silver coating plus ultraviolet radiation of the wound and magnetic therapy). Material and methods.The treatment of local burn wound infection was analyzed in 29 patients with I-II degree localized burns during the all phases of the wound healing process. The wound material was obtained in accordance with the requirements of the Guidelines МУ 4.2.2039-05 "The technique of collection and transportation of biomaterials in microbiological laboratories". The material was delivered to the laboratory in test tubes with a transport medium under isothermal conditions at a temperature of 2022C within a day after collection. Results.The tests revealed no significant differences in the studied characteristics between the compared groups (р0.05, р=0.55,2=3.841). Conclusion.We consider the developed method of local treatment of superficial and partial thickness localized burns as a rather promising, feasible method having its own significance and intended for the prevention and treatment of local wound infection in all phases of the wound healing process.
