摘要
The study compared DuoDERM Burn Pack Hydroactive Dressings (DHD) with silver sulphadiazine/Bactigras dressings (SSD/Bactigras) in the outpatient management of small partial skin thickness burns. Forty-eight patients were entered into the study, and randomly allocated into either the DHD or SSD/Bactigras group. Burn wounds were followed until complete re-epithelialization occurred. There were no statistical differences between the groups, either with respect to their composition or characteristics of healing in days, and patients' subjective responses to treatment, However, application was easier in the DHD group (93 per cent), compared with 71 per cent in the SSD/Bactigras group (P=0.0009), and the SSD/Bactigras were easier to remove (96 per cent) versus DHD (66 per cent, P=0.0004). Furthermore, the DHD group had significantly less dressing changes; a mean of three changes per subject in the DHD group compared with eight in the SSD/Bactigras group (P=0.117). Two bum wounds became infected in the DHD group, and one in the SSD/Bactigras group. In this study both modalities were found to be equally suitable and effective for small partial skin thickness burns.
