Abstract:
The effect of Betadine solution and cream was examined in the treatment of burn patients (23 documented and about 200 non-documented) during the first six months of 1991. The laboratory examinations did not reveal changes in T3, T4, TSH values. Renal failure due to iodine absorption was not observed. Hypersensitivity to the agent was not recorded. Healing of superficial and deep second-degree burns was especially rapid in some cases. In cases of third-degree burns the wounds remained "dry" until the operation. Favourable effect was also observed in the pretreatment of the donor skin areas. The authors found Betadine to be definitely advantageous in the treatment of burn patients.
