Objective:
To explore the effect of irradiated biological dressing (IBD) on second degree burn wounds.
Methods:
Eighty patients with second-degree burns who were treated in our department were selected and randomly divided into IBD group and traditional dressing (TD) group by random number table method. The dressing change, wound healing, comfort and adverse reactions of patients in the two groups were compared and analysed.
Results:
The number of dressing changes in the IBD group was significantly less than that in the TD group, and the pain degree of dressing changes was significantly lower than that in the TD group (P<0.05). The dressing comfort of the IBD group was higher than that of the TD group, the secondary trauma score was lower than that of the TD group, the wound scar hyperplasia score was lower than that of the TD group, and the healing time was shorter than that of the TD group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion:
IBD can promote the healing of second-degree burn wounds, improve patient comfort, reduce secondary trauma and wound scarring, and improve patients' quality of life.
