Comparison of Sucralfate, Silver Sulfadiazine, and Chlorhexidine Gluconate in Open Versus Close Partial Thickness Burn Dressing: A Comparative Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare open versus close partial thickness burn dressing with sucralfate, silver sulfadiazine (SSD), and chlorhexidine gluconate. Materials and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional analytical study was carried out in Paediatric Surgical Ward of a tertiary center of West Bengal in a patient with 1 and 2° burns with close dressing with sucralfate, SSD, and chlorhexidine gluconate for a period of 3 weeks. The outcome was compared with the previous record of hospital in a patient with 1 and 2° burn under the age group of 15 years. Results: Of 30 patients, 12 (40%) and 18 (60%) were male and female, respectively. 28 (93.33%) patients were <10 years of age who sustained the burn injury. The total number of death was observed only in 2 cases (6.66%). While comparing with the previous records of the past 5 years, it was noted that total death occurred in open dressing technique death was recorded in 11 (36.66%) patients. Conclusion: Close dressing of partial thickness injury is better technique in comparison to open dressing to minimize the mortality
