Insights
Orthosilicic acid demonstrated effectiveness in treating pediatric burn wounds, reducing inflammation and promoting healing. Further clinical trials are recommended for its use in various skin conditions.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Dermatology
- Biochemistry
Background:
- Burn wounds in children present significant treatment challenges.
- Effective wound management is crucial for minimizing complications and promoting healing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of orthosilicic acid in treating pediatric burn wounds.
- To assess the anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and wound healing properties of orthosilicic acid.
Main Methods:
- Treatment of 35 pediatric patients (0-15 years) with varying degrees of burn wounds.
- Clinical observation of wound healing parameters including edema, erythema, inflammation, and suppuration.
- Assessment of orthosilicic acid's effects on epidermization and granulation tissue formation.
Main Results:
- Rapid regression of edema, erythema, and inflammatory reactions observed from the second day of treatment.
- No cases of wound suppuration were reported.
- Orthosilicic acid exhibited anti-edematous and cooling effects, reducing pain.
- Accelerated epidermization and shortened time to granulation in deep burns were noted.
Conclusions:
- Orthosilicic acid shows promise as a therapeutic agent for pediatric burn wounds.
- The compound possesses anti-edematous, analgesic, and wound-healing properties.
- Further clinical investigation of orthosilicic acid for skin conditions is warranted.
Abstract:
In the Ward of Children Surgery of the local Hospital 35 children from 0 to 15 years old with burn wounds of skin of different degrees have been treated. In surface, medium-deep and deep wounds regression of oedema, reddening and inflammatory reaction were observed already from 2nd day of treatment. Suppuration of wounds was not observed. It was observed that orthosilicon acid has anti-edematous and cooling (reduces pain) effect, quickens epidermization and shortens the time of appearing of granulation in deep burns. We think that orthosilicon acid is preparation worth further clinical testing of its usage in skin illnesses.
