A Clinical Study of Collagen Dressing Over Silver Sulphadiazine Dressing in Partial Thickness Burns
Journal Title: ​International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Burns are complex in their occurrence, pathophysiology and management. It is a painful condition and topical management of burns is a challenging task. A topical dressing which allows faster healing with reduction of pain, prevents infection, leads to a good scar formation and which is cost effective is required. Over the period of time collagen has created an interest among scientists who have extensively researched about collagen and its properties have been utilized in topical management of wounds and burns. Thus there is a need to study the effectiveness of collagen dressing in comparison with conventional silver sulphadiazine dressing in terms of pain score, healing time and cost efficiency. Material and Methods: This prospective randomized comparative study includes patients with partial thickness burns,<40% BSA and not older than48hrs, admitted in Burns unit of MNR Medical College and Hospital from July 2015 to October 2017.60 patients were studied, these patients were randomized into collagen dressing or silver sulphadiazine dressing group of 30each. Results: The 60 patients admitted with partial thickness burns,<40%BSA were divided into two equal and comparable groups. Patients subjected to collagen dressings were classified under Group I and those whounderwent1% silver sulphadiazine dressings were classified as Group II. Conclusion: The collagen dressing is more cost effective than SSD. ASSD has disadvantage of the large number of dressings, prolonged hospital stay, amount pain, loss of time and labour of the patient and the accompanying person which makes collagen dressing more cost effective as it is most of the time a single dressing.
