Use of Ionized Air in Burns Management—A Preliminary Report

Abstract

Installation of an ‘Air Ionizer’ in rooms where burn patients are admitted has given encouraging results in various aspects of burns management. The spectra of contaminating bacteria have narrowed, and such rooms appear de-odourised in comparison. There is a feeling of well being in these patients. Eschar separation was earlier in them, with the appearance of healthier granulation tissue, and consequently a lesser period of hospitalization.
