摘要：

Many alternative therapies are used as first aid treatment for burns, despite limited evidence supporting their use. in this study, Aloe vera, saliva and a tea tree oil impregnated dressing (Burnaid (R)) were applied as first aid to a porcine deep dermal contact burn, compared to a control of nothing. After burn creation, the treatments were applied for 20 min and the wounds observed at weekly dressing changes for 6 weeks. Results showed that the alternative treatments did significantly decrease subdermal temperature within the skin during the treatment period. However, they did not decrease the microflora or improve re-epithelialisation, scar strength, scar depth or cosmetic appearance of the scar and cannot be recommended for the first aid treatment of partial thickness bums.
