Objective:
To evaluate the value of laminar flow in the treatment of burns.
Methods:
The air in the laminar flow chamber and the wound tissues of the patients were sampled for bacterial detection. The number and stains of bacterial colony from different classes of laminar air flow chambers at different time points were inspected and compared.
Results:
The bacterial number was 0 in the laminar flow chamber of 1000 grade, which was obviously different from that in the public area. The mortality was obviously decreased in the laminar air flow chamber with shorter treatment time and hospitalization. No wound infection occurred and the wounds healed smoothly in all these patients.
Conclusion:
The application of laminar air flow can be helpful for the treatment of severe burns.
