Infection is still a common complication;while sepsis remains the leading cause of death in severe burns. The research guided integration of new and effective techniques in burn wound management is mandatory. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is an effective and widely used technique in the management of problematic wounds. Previously existing indications include soft tissue traumas and chronic wounds such as diabetic, arterial, venous and pressure ulcers. The characteristics and challenges of these wounds have a lot in common with burns. Since the early 2000’s there are experiences with the use of NPWT for the healing of second degree burn wounds. Our clinical experience shows that it is a minimally invasive and effective way of improving burn wound management. In this article we give a review of the literature showing the mechanisms, unmapped future opportunities, financial issues, and possible adverse effects of NPWT in burn therapy.展开更多
目的观察辐照猪皮与重组人表皮生长因子(recombinant human epidermal growth factor,rhEGF)凝胶用于治疗Ⅱ度烧伤的临床疗效。方法选择135例Ⅱ度烧伤患者,分成3组,分别是辐照猪皮组、rhEGF凝胶组和对照组(碘伏油纱组),观察创面愈合时...目的观察辐照猪皮与重组人表皮生长因子(recombinant human epidermal growth factor,rhEGF)凝胶用于治疗Ⅱ度烧伤的临床疗效。方法选择135例Ⅱ度烧伤患者,分成3组,分别是辐照猪皮组、rhEGF凝胶组和对照组(碘伏油纱组),观察创面愈合时间、患者疼痛度、换药工作量、色素沉着度、愈合后效果以及1年后随访效果。结果不同治疗方式的愈合时间:对照组>rhEGF凝胶组>辐照猪皮组。辐照猪皮组和rhEGF凝胶组对Ⅱ度烧伤创面的治疗效果均优于对照组,平均愈合时间提前3～5 d,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01),且辐照猪皮组效果要略优于rhEGF凝胶组(P<0.05);rhEGF凝胶组和辐照猪皮组的患者疼痛度减轻及换药工作量相对对照组明显减少(P<0.01),且患者创面愈合效果良好、较少引起色素沉着,1年后部分患者随访证实远期愈合效果好,较少引起瘢痕增生。结论辐照猪皮和rhEGF治疗Ⅱ度烧伤效果确切、预后良好,临床上值得广泛使用。展开更多
