Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Our aim of Study is to compare the effectiveness of collagen dressing in treating burns wound compared with that of conventional 1%Silver sulphadiazine dressing. METHOD: During the period of study 60 patients who presented with second degree partial thickness burns were chosen by random sampling technique and were grouped into two groups consisting of 30 patients each one group the test group was treated with Collagen dressings and the other Control group was treated with conventional Silver sulphadiazine dressings and the effect of each were compared. RESULTS: We observed that duration taken for the wound healing is much lesser in Collagen group compared to Conventional dressing. .It was also observed that duration of hospital stay is less that is 9.8 Days in those treated with collagen dressing as compared to 16.66 Days in Conventional group. It was also observed that there was less pain and better patient compliance and effect of morbidity also less with Collagen dressings. CONCLUSION :Collagen sheet is very useful in second degree partial thickness burns. It is very well tolerated, provides multiple benefits and overall cost benefit factor is very good when compared to Conventional dressings
